Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The analysis of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), a fraction of total cell-free DNA (cfDNA), might be of special interest in retinoblastoma patients. Because the accessibility to tumor tissue is very limited in these patients, either for histopathological diagnosis of suspicious intraocular masses (biopsies are proscribed) or for somatic RB1 studies and genetic counseling (due to current successful...
