Abstract excerpt
Dying tumor cells shed DNA fragments into the circulation that are known as circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). Liquid biopsy tests aim to detect cancer using known markers, including genetic alterations and epigenetic profiles of ctDNA. Despite various advantages, the major limitation remains the low fraction of tumor-originating DNA fragments in a high background of normal blood-cell originating fragments in the...
