    uniE621 First Prospective Study in China for More Effective Ovarian Cancer Treatment l BGI Perspectives
    Homologous Recombination Deficiency (HRD) is a biomarker that predicts ovarian cancer treatment with PARP inhibitors or breast cancer treatment with first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. However, limited research is documented on platinum-based treatment prediction with HRD as a biomarker in ovarian cancer patients, especially in the Chinese population. This first-ever China prospective cohort study, jointly conducted by BGI Genomics clinical researcher Dr. Shao Di and the Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center team and published on the Journal of Ovarian Research indicates that HRD testing can accurately predict the sensitivity of platinum-based chemotherapy for ovarian cancer patients. Research Method The study covered 240 patients with primary treatment of high-grade serious ovarian cancer (HGSOC) admitted to the Cancer Hospital of Fudan University from January 2016 to September 2018 interval. Patients received more than two cycles of platinum-containing adjuvant chemotherapy after surgery and were classified as platinum-sensitive (Pt) and platinum-resistant according to the time of ovarian cancer recurrence. All patients were tested with a gene panel test screening for 68 HRR genes, to assess the mutation status of HRR-related genes such as BRCA. Of these, 118 samples underwent the HRD test to assess loss of heterozygosity (LOH), telomere allele disequilibrium (TAI), and large segmental recombination abnormality (LST) status. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to plot survival curve and the effectiveness of these tests in predicting patient outcomes. Conclusion This study demonstrated for the first time that HRD is a valid biomarker tool for predicting sensitivity to platinum-based chemotherapy in prospective cohort unselected Chinese ovarian cancer patients. The study also found a higher rate of HRD positivity in Chinese ovarian cancer patients than in Western populations, suggesting that HRD testing could screen a higher proportion of Chinese PARP inhibitor population to facilitate precision therapy.

    uniE621 Comparing US-China Colorectal Cancer Screening l BGI Perspectives
    In recent years, cancer has become one of the major public health issues seriously threatening the Chinese population. According to the latest global cancer-related data for 2020 released by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of the World Health Organization, 19.29 million new cancer cases and 9.96 million cancer-related deaths will occur. The number of new cancer cases far exceeds that of other countries in the world. According to the latest data released by the National Cancer Center in 2022, China spends more than $220 billion on cancer-related medical treatment each year, and the overall 5-year survival rate of cancer in China is significantly worse than that of developed countries, making the prevention and control situation very serious. Early cancer screening is an effective way to detect cancer and precancerous lesions at an early stage, playing a crucial role in the whole cycle of detection and treatment by screening out cancer-risk groups or cancer-positive patients from an asymptomatic population with fast and effective methods. Today, we will take colorectal cancer prevention and control and introduce U.S. and China's developments in early screening for colorectal cancer.
