BEAMing is a feasible, accurate, and sensitive method for detection of PIK3CA mutations in circulating tumor DNA in blood. Mutation status of PIK3CA may change between primary tumor and recurrence. The results suggest a new approach for noninvasive determination of current mutation status in patients with metastatic disease.
BEAMing 是一种在血液循环肿瘤 DNA 中检测 PIK3CA 突变的可行、准确和敏感的方法。PIK3CA 的突变状态可能在原发肿瘤和复发之间发生变化。这些结果表明了一种新的方法,可以在转移性疾病患者中进行非侵入性的当前突变状态的检测。
