Identification of Hypermutation and Defective Mismatch Repair in ctDNA from Metastatic Prostate Cancer
19 Nov 2019
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Purpose: DNA mismatch repair defects (MMRd) and tumor hypermutation are rare and under-characterized in metastatic prostate cancer (mPC). Furthermore, because hypermutated MMRd prostate cancers can respond to immune checkpoint inhibitors, there is an urgent need for practical detection tools. Experimental Design: We analyzed plasma cell-free DNA-targeted sequencing data from 433 patients with mPC with...
