Detection of ctDNA in plasma of patients with clinically localised prostate cancer is associated with rapid disease progression
17 Aug 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: DNA originating from degenerate tumour cells can be detected in the circulation in many tumour types, where it can be used as a marker of disease burden as well as to monitor treatment response. Although circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) measurement has prognostic/predictive value in metastatic prostate cancer, its utility in localised disease is unknown. METHODS: We performed whole-genome sequencing of...
