Identification of Genetic Alterations by Circulating Tumor DNA in Leiomyosarcoma: A Molecular Analysis of 73 Patients
1 May 2020
Abstract excerpt
Background: Leiomyosarcoma is a malignant mesenchymal tumor of cells of smooth muscle lineage arising commonly in retroperitoneum, uterus, large veins, and the limbs. The genetics of leiomyosarcomas are complex and there is very limited understanding of common driver mutations. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) offers a rapid and noninvasive method of next-generation sequencing (NGS) that could be used for diagnosis,...
