Метод «жидкостной биопсии» позволяет определять циркулирующую опухолевую ДНК (цоДНК) в крови пациентов, однако клиническая значимость данного подхода при раке поджелудочной железы остается неясной. В связи с этим мы провели метаанализ работ, посвященных прогностической значимости цоДНК при раке поджелудочной железы. Материалы и методы. Проведен поиск статей и абстрактов в базах данных PubMed, ASCO и ESMO, опубликованных до февраля 2020 г. и содержащих информацию о связи цоДНК и прогноза больных раком поджелудочной железы. К критериям исключения относили работы с 10 и менее участвующими в исследовании пациентами, отсутствием данных об относительном риске смерти и/или прогрессирования и 95% доверительном интервале к нему. Метаанализ проведен с помощью программы Review Manager (RevMan), version 5.3. Результаты. Не отмечено существенных систематических ошибок, связанных с публикациями. Наличие цоДНК в крови пациентов негативно влияло на общую выживаемость пациентов (отношение риска – ОР 2,21, 95% доверительный интервал – ДИ 1,35–3,33, р=0,001) независимо от распространенности заболевания. В случае резектабельного процесса определение цоДНК в крови пациентов как до, так и после операции было фактором худшей выживаемости без признаков заболевания (ОР 2,32, 95% ДИ 1,54–3,5, р<0,0001 и ОР 3,06, 95% ДИ 1,63–5,76, р=0,0005 соответственно) и общей выживаемости (ОР 2,01, 95% ДИ 1,12–3,63, р=0,02 и ОР 3,39, 95% ДИ 2,12–5,44, р<0,00001 соответственно). Выводы. Обнаружение цоДНК в крови больных раком поджелудочной железы является фактором негативного прогноза как при локализованном, так и при распространенном процессе. Необходимы дальнейшие проспективные исследования для выработки наиболее оптимального протокола определения цоДНК в крови пациентов.
Ключевые слова: рак поджелудочной железы, общая выживаемость, выживаемость без признаков заболевания, прогностический фактор, циркулирующая опухолевая ДНК.

The method of liquid biopsy allows detection of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in patient blood, but the clinical significance of this approach in pancreatic cancer is still unclear. In this regard, we have carried out a meta-analysis of the studies dedicated to the predictive significance of ctDNA in pancreatic cancer. Materials and methods. We carried out the search for the articles and abstracts in PubMed, ASCO and ESMO databases published before February 2020, containing data about the connection between ctDNA and the prognosis of pancreatic cancer. The exclusion criteria were the studies including 10 or less participating patients, absence of the data about the relative risk of mortality and/or progression, and the 95% confidence interval. The meta-analysis was carried out by using the Review Manager software (RevMan), Version 5.3. Results. There were no significant systematic errors associated with the publications. The presence of ctDNA in patient blood showed poor overall survival of patients (odds ratio – OR 2.21, 95% confidence interval – CI 1.35-3.33, p=0.001) regardless of the prevalence of the disease. In case of the resectable process, the detection of ctDNA in patient blood both before and after surgery was a factor of worse progression-free survival (OR 2.32, 95% CI 1.54–3.5, p<0.001 and OR 3.06, 95% CI 1.63–5.76, р=0.0005 and overall survival (OR 2.01, 95% CI 1.12–3.63, р=0,02 and OR 3.39, 95% CI 2.12–5.44, р<0.00001, respectively). Conclusions. The detection of ctDNA in the bloodstream in pancreatic cancer patients is a factor of poor prognosis in both localized and advanced cancer. It is very important to make further prospective studies to develop the optimal protocol for detecting ctDNA in patient bloodstream.
