Bile cell‑free DNA as a novel and powerful liquid biopsy for detecting somatic variants in biliary tract cancer
31 May 2019
Abstract excerpt
Tissue sampling of biliary tract carcinomas (BTCs) for molecular characterization is challenging. The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of identifying individual actionable mutations derived from bile cell‑free DNA (cfDNA) using targeted deep sequencing. Ten BTC patients, four with gallbladder carcinomas and six with cholangiocarcinomas, were enrolled in the present study. Using targeted deep...
