Abstract
e14523 Background: Low-coverage whole genome sequencing (LC-WGS) of tumors provides valuable insight into molecular changes driving oncogenesis. A novel liquid biopsy source of tumor DNA for analysis is from extracellular vesicles (EV) obtained from blood. This study compared copy number alteration (CNA) profiles generated from LC-WGS of Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) DNA and EV-associated DNA in cancer patients. Methods: Three metastatic base of tongue (BOT), two of which were Human Papillomavirus-related (HPV+) and two metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) patients were included. EV were isolated using ultracentrifugation from patients’ plasma. DNA was extracted fro..
