Comparison of Genetic and Epigenetic Alterations of Primary Tumors and Matched Plasma Samples in Patients with Colorectal Cancer
6 May 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Although recent advances in circulating DNA analysis allow the prediction of tumor genomes by noninvasive means, some challenges remain, which limit the widespread introduction of cfDNA in cancer diagnostics. We analyzed the status of the two best characterized colorectal cancer (CRC) genetic and epigenetic alterations in a cohort of CRC patients, and then compared the degree to which the two patterns...
