Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Tumor genotyping using cell-free plasma DNA (cfDNA) has the potential to allow noninvasive assessment of tumor biology, yet many existing assays are cumbersome and vulnerable to false-positive results. We sought to determine whether droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) of cfDNA would allow highly specific and quantitative assessment of tumor genotype. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: ddPCR assays for EGFR, KRAS, and BRAF...
