Genomewide copy number alteration screening of circulating plasma DNA: potential for the detection of incipient tumors
26 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
Background: Early cancer diagnosis might improve survival rates. As circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) carries cancer-specific modifications, it has great potential as a noninvasive biomarker for detection of incipient tumors. Patients and methods: We collected cell-free DNA (cfDNA) samples of 1002 elderly without a prior malignancy, carried out whole-genome massive parallel sequencing and scrutinized the mapped...
