Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Cell free tumor DNA (cfDNA) circulating in blood has a great potential as biomarker for cancer clinical management. The objective of this study is to evaluate if cfDNA in blood plasma is detectable in early stage lung cancer patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We extracted cfDNAs and tumor tissue DNAs from 8 lung adenocarcinoma patients. We also extracted cfDNAs from 8 normal controls. To evaluate copy...
