Leveraging the Fragment Length of Circulating Tumour DNA to Improve Molecular Profiling of Solid Tumour Malignancies with Next-Generation Sequencing: A Pathway to Advanced Non-invasive Diagnostics in Precision Oncology?

Abstract excerpt

Circulating cell-free DNA (ccfDNA) has emerged as a promising diagnostic tool in oncology. Identification of tumour-derived ccfDNA (i.e. circulating tumour DNA [ctDNA]) provides non-invasive access to a malignancy's molecular landscape to diagnose, inform therapeutic strategies, and monitor treatment efficacy. Current applications of ccfDNA to detect somatic mutations, however, have been largely constrained to...
