Evolving Applications of Circulating Tumor DNA in Merkel Cell Carcinoma
18 Jan 2023
Abstract excerpt
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a subset of circulating cell-free DNA released by lysed tumor cells that can be characterized by its shorter strand length and tumor genome-specific information. The relatively short half-life of ctDNA allows it to provide a real-time measure of tumor burden which has potential prognostic and surveillance value as a tumor biomarker. Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare...
