Leukocyte mitochondrial DNA content: a novel biomarker associated with prognosis and therapeutic outcome in colorectal cancer
30 Mar 2015
Abstract excerpt
Compelling evidence has indicated a significant association between leukocyte mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content and incidence risks of several malignancies in a cancer-specific manner. However, to date, whether leukocyte mtDNA content can predict clinical outcome of cancer patients has never been investigated. In the present study, we measured leukocyte mtDNA content using real-time PCR-based method in a total of...
