13 Apr 2018
Abstract excerpt
Liquid biopsies and, in particular, analysis of cell-free DNA (cfDNA), have emerged as a promising and potentially transformative non-invasive diagnostic approach in oncology [1, 2]. cfDNA is composed of fragmented DNA released by cells into the circulation, typically as a result of cell death. cfDNA found in the plasma of healthy patients is composed of germline DNA released by normal cells.
