Multimodal Targeted Deep Sequencing of Circulating Tumor Cells and Matched Cell-Free DNA Provides a More Comprehensive Tool to Identify Therapeutic Targets in Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients

Abstract excerpt

Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and circulating tumor cells (CTCs) exhibit great potential for therapy management in oncology. We aimed to establish a multimodal liquid biopsy strategy that is usable with minimized blood volume to deconvolute the genomic complexity of metastatic breast cancer. CTCs were isolated from 10ml blood of 18 hormone receptor-positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-)...
