Abstract excerpt
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analyses are minimally invasive and accessible for risk stratification or treatment response monitoring of cancer patients. Compared to tumor biopsy analysis, they are not only less invasive, but also provide a more representative picture, allowing capturing both tumor heterogeneity and multiple tumor sites. Development of new technologies such as droplet-based digital PCR (ddPCR)...
