Genome-Wide Sequencing of Cell-Free DNA Identifies Copy-Number Alterations That Can Be Used for Monitoring Response to Immunotherapy in Cancer Patients
6 Dec 2018
Abstract excerpt
Inhibitors of the PD-1/PD-L1/CTLA-4 immune checkpoint pathway have revolutionized cancer treatment. Indeed, some patients with advanced, refractory malignancies achieve durable responses; however, only a subset of patients benefit, necessitating new biomarkers to predict outcome. Interrogating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) isolated from plasma (liquid biopsy) provides a promising method for monitoring response. We...
