Detection of a novel panel of somatic mutations in plasma cell-free DNA and its diagnostic value in hepatocellular carcinoma

Abstract excerpt

Background/aims: Circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) contains tumor-specific alterations and could potentially serve as “liquid biopsy”. The study was to identify a novel panel of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)-specific mutations in plasma cfDNA and to assess its value in the diagnosis of HCC. Materials and methods: 33 HCC tissue, 37 blood, and 37 swab specimens were collected from HCC patients and control...
