Detection of Circulating Tumor DNA in Early- and Late-Stage Human Malignancies

Chetan Bettegowda, +69 more
TL;DR: The ability of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) to detect tumors in 640 patients with various cancer types was evaluated and suggested that ctDNA is a broadly applicable, sensitive, and specific biomarker that can be used for a variety of clinical and research purposes.
PatentDOI

Circulating Mutant DNA to Assess Tumor Dynamics

TL;DR: In this article, a highly sensitive approach to quantify circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in body samples of patients was applied to reliably monitor tumor dynamics in subjects with cancer, especially those who are undergoing surgery or chemotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of personalized tumor biomarkers using massively parallel sequencing.

TL;DR: In an arena that takes small steps, PARE offers a leap forward in the clinical management and treatment of solid tumors, revealing true biomarkers that enable monitoring of individual tumor progression, tailoring of response to therapeutic treatment, and identification of residual disease at a level previously undetectable by current methods.
