Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In standard pre-analytical conditions, an isolation step is required for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis. The need for this step remains unclear with the development of ultrasensitive detection technologies such as digital PCR (dPCR). The aim of our study was to evaluate the ctDNA detection by dPCR platform either directly from plasma (plasma group, PG) or after an isolation step (isolation...
