Circulating cell-free DNA-based epigenetic assay can detect early breast cancer
1 Dec 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has recently been recognized as a resource for biomarkers of cancer progression, treatment response, and drug resistance. However, few have demonstrated the usefulness of cfDNA for early detection of cancer.
