Loss of Heterozygosity at Tumor Suppressor Genes Detectable on Fractionated Circulating Cell-Free Tumor DNA as Indicator of Breast Cancer Progression
26 Sept 2012
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: LOH on circulating DNA may provide tumor-specific information on breast cancer. As identification of LOH on cell-free DNA is impeded by the prevalence of wild type DNA in blood of cancer patients, we fractionated plasma DNA, and determined the diagnostic and prognostic value of both fractions. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Our cohort of 388 patients with primary breast cancer before chemotherapy was selected from...
