Genotyping of Circulating Free DNA Enables Monitoring of Tumor Dynamics in Synovial Sarcomas
21 Apr 2022
Abstract excerpt
Background: Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a malignant soft tissue tumor of mesenchymal origin that frequently occurs in young adults. Translocation of the SYT gene on chromosome 18 to the SSX genes on chromosome X leads to the formation of oncogenic fusion genes, which lead to initiation and proliferation of tumor cells. The detection and quantification of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) can serve as a non-invasive...
