Description
Circulating free DNA (cfDNA) can be found dissolved in plasma and serum, at variable amounts. In the case of cancer patients, ctDNA is a fraction of the cfDNA derived from tumor. Currently, the ctDNA is widely used in "liquid biopsy" for not only does it carry the same somatic alterations as the tum...
Circulating free DNA (cfDNA) can be found dissolved in plasma and serum, at variable amounts. In the case of cancer patients, ctDNA is a fraction of the cfDNA derived from tumor. Currently, the ctDNA is widely used in "liquid biopsy" for not only does it carry the same somatic alterations as the tumor itself but also its percentage is correlated with tumor burden. This study will investigate the clinical value of efficacy evaluation and prognosis of ctDNA detecting technique in patients with radiotherapy.
