Molecular analyses of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in plasma from cancer patients have the potential to deliver minimally invasive diagnostic and disease-monitoring biomarkers. Drawing from experience gained through the translation of circulating tumor cell detection to clinical tests, we discuss ctDNA as a source of tumor material for biomarker development.
对癌症患者血浆中循环肿瘤 DNA(ctDNA)的分子分析有可能提供微创的诊断和疾病监测生物标志物。借鉴通过循环肿瘤细胞检测转化为临床检测获得的经验,我们讨论了 ctDNA 作为肿瘤标志物开发的肿瘤材料来源。
