Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: KRAS circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has shown biomarker potential for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) but has not been applied in clinical routine yet. We aim to improve clinical applicability of ctDNA detection in PDAC and to study the impact of blood-draw site and time point on the detectability and prognostic role of KRAS mutations. METHODS: 221 blood samples from 108 PDAC patients (65...
