Detection of free‐circulating tumor‐associated DNA in plasma of colorectal cancer patients and its association with prognosis
17 Jul 2002
Abstract excerpt
Tumor cells are characterized by specific genetic alterations. When such genetic alterations are identified in body fluid including plasma, regardless of the presence of detectable tumor cells, it shows the existence of free-circulating tumor-associated DNA. The objective of our study was to assess the prognostic value of free-circulating tumor-associated DNA in colorectal cancer patients' plasma. The first step...
