Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), which represents an unbiased way to assess tumor genetic profile noninvasively, facilitates studying intratumor heterogeneity. Although intratumor heterogeneity has been elucidated substantially in a few cancer types, including NSCLC, how it influences the ability of tumor cells harboring different genetic abnormalities in releasing their DNA remains elusive. We...
