Detection and Diagnostic Utilization of Cellular and Cell-Free Tumor DNA
24 Nov 2020
Abstract excerpt
Because cancer is caused by an accumulation of genetic mutations, mutant DNA released by tumors can be used as a highly specific biomarker for cancer. Although this principle was described decades ago, the advent and falling costs of next-generation sequencing have made the use of tumor DNA as a biomarker increasingly practical. This review surveys the use of cellular and cell-free DNA for the detection of...
