The role of plasma cell-free DNA detection in predicting preoperative chemoradiotherapy response in rectal cancer patients
30 Dec 2013
Abstract excerpt
In the present study, we studied the relationship between plasma cell-free DNA and the effect of preoperative chemoradiotherapy in patients with rectal cancer. The concentration, KRAS mutation and O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation status of cell-free DNA were measured by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analyses. The response to chemoradiotherapy was assessed using tumor...
