Molecular analysis of FIT interval colorectal cancers

To optimize a fecal immunochemical test-based screening program, the rate of missed colorectal cancers (CRCs), so-called FIT-interval CRCs, should be minimized. A specific molecular make-up of those CRCs could be an explanation for those interval CRCs. Knowledge of the molecular make-up of these missed lesions could facilitate more accurate detection of all precursor lesions. In this study we aimed to compare the molecular make-up of FIT-interval CRCs and screen-detected CRCs (SD-CRCs).

EGAD00001006409	Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded samples from 27 FIT interval CRC and 54 screen-detected CRCs collected in a pilot-program of FIT-based CRC screening in the southwest and northwest regions in the Netherlands, were used in this study. DNA was extracted for 1) Shallow Sequencing (copy number analysis) and 2) TSACP Amplicon Cancer Gene Panel (mutations) of 22 FIT Interval CRCs and 45 screen-detected CRCs.	Illumina HiSeq 2500	66
