Abstract excerpt
Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is the degradation product of extracellular DNA. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), as a fraction of cfDNA, comes from tumor cells and contains variations, including mutation, deletion, insertion, rearrangement, copy number variation, and methylation. Therefore, biomarkers identified in ctDNA show promising clinical applications in early diagnosis, recurrence monitoring, and conducting...
