Abstract excerpt
Measurement of genetically altered DNA shed from tumours into the circulation can potentially provide a new generation of blood-based cancer biomarkers. Compared with tissue DNA biomarkers which require surgery or biopsy, samples for circulating tumour DNA assays can be obtained with minimal inconvenience and at lower cost. Furthermore, in contrast to tissue, the use of circulating tumour DNA allows serial...
