Insights into therapeutic resistance from whole-genome analyses of circulating tumor DNA
8 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
The selection and expansion of tumor cells with de novo genetic alterations in specific genes has been described as a mechanism of resistance to targeted therapy. Unfortunately, in the metastatic setting it is often not possible to examine the multiple lesions present in an individual to determine the presence and mechanism of acquired resistance during therapy. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) can be used to...
