Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) within a liquid biopsy is a promising marker for genotyping metastatic tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed next generation whole exon sequencing of TP53 and PIK3CA genes, which are the 2 most common genetic alterations in breast cancer, in plasma DNA (pDNA) of 17 metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients and in tumor DNA (tDNA) from their primary tumors. RESULTS: We...
