Methylation patterns in cell‐free plasma DNA reflect removal of the primary tumor and drug treatment of breast cancer patients
5 Apr 2010
Abstract excerpt
Abnormal DNA methylation is a feature of most types of cancer, which is reflected in cell-free circulating DNA in plasma. It is, however, unknown whether surgical removal of the tumor and subsequent therapy induces changes in plasma DNA methylation, which can be used to monitor treatment. In this pilot study, methylation in cell-free plasma DNA of 20 breast cancer patients was determined by the previously...
