Genome‐wide profiling of circulating tumor DNA depicts landscape of copy number alterations in pancreatic cancer with liver metastasis
27 Jun 2020
Abstract excerpt
Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) offers an alternative to tissue biopsies for genomic profiling in tumors. Here, we sought to evaluate copy number alterations in PDAC through whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of cfDNA and determine their clinical significance. Using shallow WGS across 90 plasma samples from 70 pancreatic cancer patients, we detected somatic copy number alterations (CNAs) in 34 subjects (48.6%). Additionally, a...
