Abstract excerpt
Detection of BRAFV600E within cell free tumor DNA (ctDNA) is emerging as a promising means to improve patients' stratification or enable BRAF inhibitor (BRAFi) therapeutic monitoring in a minimally invasive manner. Here, we investigated whether extracellular vesicle-(EV)-associated-DNA (EV-DNA) has value as an alternative source of circulating BRAFV600E. To do so, we identified a clinical practice-compatible...
