Decoding the Dynamics of Circulating Tumor DNA in Liquid Biopsies

Abstract excerpt

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), a fragment of tumor DNA found in the bloodstream, has emerged as a revolutionary tool in cancer management. This review delves into the biology of ctDNA, examining release mechanisms, including necrosis, apoptosis, and active secretion, all of which offer information about the state and nature of the tumor. Comprehensive DNA profiling has been enabled by methods such as whole genome...
