Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The measurement of circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) may transform the management of breast cancer patients. We aimed to investigate the clinical significance of sequential measurements of ESR1 mutations in primary breast cancer (PBC) and metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients. RESULTS: ESR1 mutations ratio in the PBC groups was used as the minimum cutoff for determining increases in cfDNA ESR1...
