Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutated circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has been suggested as a surrogate marker of tumour burden and aggressiveness of disease. We examined the association between the level of plasma mutant cfDNA and metabolic tumour burden (MTB) measured by 18F-fluoro-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT). Furthermore, the presence of mutant cfDNA was correlated with patient...
