Clinical Targeted Next-Generation Panel Sequencing Reveals

Osteosarcoma risk stratification, on the basis of the presence of metastatic disease at diagnosis and histologic response to chemotherapy, has remained unchanged for four decades, does not include genomic features, and has not facilitated treatment advances. We report on the genomic features of advanced osteosarcoma and provide evidence that genomic alterations can be used for risk stratification. In a primary analytic patient cohort, 113 tumor and 69 normal samples from 92 patients with high-grade osteosarcoma were sequenced with OncoPanel, a targeted next-generation sequencing assay. In this primary cohort, we assessed the genomic landscape of advanced disease and evaluated the correlation between recurrent genomic events and outcome. We assessed whether prognostic associations identified in the primary cohort were maintained in a validation cohort of 86 patients with localized osteosarcoma tested with MSK-IMPACT. In the primary cohort, 3-year overall survival (OS) was 65%. Metastatic disease, present in 33% of patients at diagnosis, was associated with poor OS ( The most frequently occurring genomic events in advanced osteosarcoma were similar to those described in prior reports.
