Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Circulating tumor DNAs (ctDNAs) are highly promising cancer biomarkers, potentially applicable for noninvasive liquid biopsy and disease monitoring. However, to date, sequencing of ctDNAs has proven to be challenging primarily due to small sample size and high background of fragmented cell-free DNAs (cfDNAs) derived from normal cells in the circulation, specifically in early stage cancer. METHODS:...
