Purpose: Intratumoral heterogeneity is well recognized to be an important driver of treatment resistance and metastasis. We undertook this N of one study to measure the degree of heterogeneity in a single large preinvasive lesion with an invasive component to determine the relationship between tumor heterogeneity, spatial distribution, clonal evolution, and invasive progression.Methods: We identified a patient with extensive DCIS measuring 7.5 cm, associated with 1.5 cm of an invasive component. We segregated the tumor sample into 32 unique blocks with precise geospatial localization; invasive cancer was identified in 3 of 32 blocks. NGS libraries were made from FFPE derived DNA (20-40ng) for full exome sequencing and hybridization to a 4.8 million element SNP array. All data were analyzed and a phylogentic tree was constructed.Results: The sequence data was analyzed with Platypus[1] and 3922 somatic mutation sites were found in total. These sites were concatenated into one sequence for each sample. Then a Neighbor-Joining tree was built with a Jukes-Cantor model and 1000 bootstrap replicates using FastME 2.0[2], to assess the reliability of the tree (Figure 1). Phylogenetic analysis revealed that invasive cancer evolved twice, independently. Dense sampling allowed reconstruction of the temporal order of mutations that accumulated in the cell lineage of the invasive cancers. Furthermore, the phylogeny revealed that distant regions may be closely genetically related, the oldest parts of the tumor were in the interior of the tumor, and that the invasive tumors evolved near the oldest parts of the tumor, rather than at the expanding front.Conclusions: Extensive sampling and sequencing of a single tumor yields important insights about tumor heterogeneity and tumor progression for DCIS to invasive cancer. Foci of invasion were geospatially associated with preinvasive regions of progressively higher mutational load.1.
