Coupling multiplex pre-amplification and droplet digital PCR for longitudinal monitoring of <i>ESR1</i> and <i>PIK3CA</i> mutations from plasma cell-free DNA
2019-04-05
Abstract excerpt
Here we report on the development of a sensitive and cost-effective method to longitudinally track ESR1 and PIK3CA mutations from cfDNA in patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) using a streamlined and de-centralized workflow. Hotspot mutations in ESR1 have been shown to cause resistance to aromatase inhibitor–based and anti-estrogenic therapies, while PIK3CA mutations have high prevalence in MBC. As a r...
