Abstract excerpt
Molecular analysis of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has a large potential for clinical application by capturing tumor-specific aberrations through noninvasive sampling. In gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), analysis of KIT and PDGFRA mutations is important for therapeutic decisions, but the invasiveness of traditional biopsies limits the possibilities for repeated sampling. Using targeted next-generation...
