Abstract excerpt
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), a fraction of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in the circulatory system, is released from tumor cells and thus carries tumor-specific genetic signatures. Using blood-derived ctDNA to detect somatic mutations has shown great value in guiding cancer targeted therapy. Isolation and detection efficiencies are the key factors affecting the performance of ctDNA detection. To optimize and...
