Non-invasive detection of biliary tract cancer by low-coverage whole genome sequencing from plasma cell-free DNA: A prospective cohort study
12 Oct 2020
Abstract excerpt
The diagnosis of biliary tract cancer (BTC) is challenging in clinical practice. We performed a prospective study to evaluate the value of plasma copy number variation (CNV) assays in diagnosing BTC. 47 treatment-naïve patients with suspicious biliary lesions were recruited. Plasma samples were collected at admission. Cell-free DNA was analyzed by low coverage whole genome sequencing, followed by CNV analyses via...
