[Background&Aim] Hypermutator (HM) is a cancer with numerous mutations, displaying neoantigens on the cell surface, and therefore responds well to immune-checkpoint inhibitors. This study aimed to clarify the incidences and characteristics of HM in the gastrointestinal and hepatopancreatobiliary (GI-HPB) cancers.
[Methods] 1400 patients, who underwent surgical resection for their GI-HPB cancers, participated this study. DNA was extracted from the tumors and peripheral blood, and mutations were analyzed using next generation sequencer for 47 inherited cancer- and 411 cancer-associated genes. HM was defined when ≥20 mutations were detected per one Mb (tumor mutation burden: TMB).
[Results] 1400 cancer cases included 827 colorectal cancers (CRCs), 282 gastric cancers (GCs), 107 hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs), 5 small intestine cancers, etc. HM was detected in 91 (6.5%) total cases; i.e., 56 (6.8%) CRCs, 32 (11.3%) GCs, 2 (40%) small intestine cancers, and 1 (0.9%) HCCs. TMB of HM was significantly higher in CRCs than GCs (P=0.02), and especially high in CRCs with POLmutations (P<0.001). In CRCs, incidence of HM was different by location (right>left, P<0.001). HM of CRCs frequently showed BRAFmutation (57.1%) and POLmutation (21.4%). Pathogenic variants of germline mismatch repair genes were detected in 8 cases.
[Conclusions] HM is recognized in about 10% of GI cancers. In HM of CRCs, mutations of BRAFand POLwere frequently recognized, and Lynch syndrome exists in some proportion.
