Abstract excerpt
Liquid biopsies enable noninvasive tumor profiling and longitudinal disease monitoring. Their analytical performance is strongly influenced by pre-analytical factors, yet direct comparisons between cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and extracellular vesicle-derived DNA (evDNA) remain scarce. We prospectively evaluated four pre-analytical variables: processing delay, storage temperature, tube type, and plasma input volume, on...
