Detecting biomarkers with microdroplet technology

TLDR
Digital procedures based on the limiting dilution of biological samples in individual compartments such as droplets of a water-in-oil emulsion, and relies on the discrete counting of a given event, providing an absolute value and quantitative data could become an essential diagnostic tool for the study of diseases as well as patient management.

Mutation Tracking in Circulating Tumor DNA Predicts Relapse in Early Breast Cancer

TL;DR: In a prospective cohort of 55 early breast cancer patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy, detection of ctDNA in plasma after completion of apparently curative treatment—either at a single postsurgical time point or with serial follow-up plasma samples—predicted metastatic relapse with high accuracy and increased sensitivity.
