Blood-Based DNA Methylation Analysis by Multiplexed OBBPA-ddPCR to Verify Indications for Prostate Biopsies in Suspected Prostate Cancer Patients

Current prostate carcinoma (PCa) biomarkers, including total prostate-specific antigen (tPSA), have unsatisfactory diagnostic sensitivity and specificity resulting in overdiagnosis and overtreatment. Previously, we described an optimised bias-based preamplification-digital droplet PCR (OBBPA-ddPCR)...

description Current prostate carcinoma (PCa) biomarkers, including total prostate-specific antigen (tPSA), have unsatisfactory diagnostic sensitivity and specificity resulting in overdiagnosis and overtreatment. Previously, we described an optimised bias-based preamplification-digital droplet PCR (OBBPA-ddPCR) technique, which detects tumour DNA in blood-derived cell-free DNA (cfDNA) of cancer patients. The current study investigated the performance of newly developed OBBPA-ddPCR-based biomarkers. Blood plasma samples from healthy individuals ( = 90, controls) and PCa ( = 39) and benign prostatic hyperplasia patients (BPH, = 40) were analysed. PCa and BPH patients had tPSA values within a diagnostic grey area of 2-15 ng/mL, for whom further diagnostic validation is most crucial. Methylation levels of biomarkers , , , and were found significantly increased in PCa patients compared to controls. By combining classical PCa risk factors (percentage of free PSA compared to tPSA (QfPSA) and patient's age) with cfDNA-based biomarkers, we developed PCa risk scores with improved sensitivity and specificity compared to established tPSA and QfPSA single-marker analyses. The diagnostic specificity was increased to 70% with 100% sensitivity for clinically significant PCa patients. Thus, prostate biopsies could be avoided for 28 out of 40 BPH patients. In conclusion, the newly developed risk scores may help to confirm the clinical decision and prevent unnecessary prostate biopsy.
