A Novel Tissue-Free Method to Estimate Tumor-Derived Cell-Free DNA Quantity Using Tumor Methylation Patterns
23 Dec 2023
Abstract excerpt
Estimating the abundance of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) fragments shed from a tumor (i.e., circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)) can approximate tumor burden, which has numerous clinical applications. We derived a novel, broadly applicable statistical method to quantify cancer-indicative methylation patterns within cfDNA to estimate ctDNA abundance, even at low levels. Our algorithm identified differentially methylated...
