Detection of Chromosomal Alterations in the Circulation of Cancer Patients with Whole-Genome Sequencing
28 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
Clinical management of cancer patients could be improved through the development of noninvasive approaches for the detection of incipient, residual, and recurrent tumors. We describe an approach to directly identify tumor-derived chromosomal alterations through analysis of circulating cell-free DNA from cancer patients. Whole-genome analyses of DNA from the plasma of 10 colorectal and breast cancer patients and...
