Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Early detection of cancers through the analysis of ctDNA could have a significant impact on morbidity and mortality of cancer patients. However, using ctDNA for early cancer diagnosis is challenging partly due to the low amount of tumor DNA released in the circulation and its dilution within DNA originating from non-tumor cells. Development of new technologies such as droplet-based digital PCR...
