A Study of Hypermethylated Circulating Tumor DNA as a Universal Colorectal Cancer Biomarker
2 Jun 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has emerged as a good candidate for tracking tumor dynamics in different cancer types, potentially avoiding repeated tumor biopsies. Many different genes can be mutated within a tumor, complicating procedures for tumor monitoring, even with highly sensitive next-generation sequencing (NGS) strategies. Droplet-based digital PCR (dPCR) is a highly sensitive and quantitative...
