Circulating tumor DNA functions as an alternative for tissue to overcome tumor heterogeneity in advanced gastric cancer
5 Jul 2017
Abstract excerpt
Overcoming tumor heterogeneity is a major challenge for personalized treatment of gastric cancer, especially for human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 targeted therapy. Analysis of circulating tumor DNA allows a more comprehensive analysis of tumor heterogeneity than traditional biopsies in lung cancer and breast cancer, but little is known in gastric cancer. We assessed mutation profiles of ctDNA and primary...
