Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Most studies utilizing circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to monitor disease interrogated only one or a few genes and failed to develop workable criteria to inform clinical practice. We evaluated the feasibility of detecting resistance to anti-HER2 therapy by serial gene-panel ctDNA sequencing. RESULTS: Primary therapeutic resistance was identified in 6 out of 14 patients with events of progressive...
