Abstract excerpt
Liquid biopsy (LB) is an essential tool for obtaining tumor-derived materials with minimum invasion. Bile has been shown to contain much higher free nucleic acid levels than blood plasma and can be collected through endoscopic procedures. Therefore, bile possesses high potential as a source of tumor derived cell-free DNA (cfDNA) for bile duct cancers. In this study, we show that a multigene panel for plasma LB...
