Analysis of colorectal cancer‐related mutations by liquid biopsy: Utility of circulating cell‐free DNA and circulating tumor cells
29 Aug 2019
Abstract excerpt
We recruited 56 colorectal cancer patients and compared the mutational spectrum of tumor tissue DNA, circulating cell-free DNA (ccfDNA) and circulating tumor cell (CTC) DNA (ctcDNA) to evaluate the potential of liquid biopsy to detect heterogeneity of cancer. Tumor tissue DNA, ccfDNA, and ctcDNA were extracted from each patient and analyzed using next-generation sequencing (NGS) and digital PCR. To maximize...
