Abstract excerpt
The cancer secretome is a valuable reservoir of cancer biomarkers. Besides containing circulating tumor cells, extracellular vesicles, and proteins, it is also rich in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)-a subpopulation of cell free DNA. The most efficient technology to capture ctDNA is next generation sequencing (NGS). Indeed, this analysis enables the identification of both quantitative (e.g., mutant allelic fraction...
