Profiling tumour heterogeneity through circulating tumour DNA in patients with pancreatic cancer
The majority of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC) are diagnosed late so that surgery is rarely curative. Earlier detection could significantly increase the likelihood of successful treatment and improve survival. The aim of the study was to provide proof of principle that point mutations in key cancer genes can be identified by sequencing circulating free DNA (cfDNA) and that this could ...
متن کاملDirect comparison study of DNA methylation markers in EpCAM-positive circulating tumour cells, corresponding circulating tumour DNA, and paired primary tumours in breast cancer
Circulating Tumour Cells (CTCs) and circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) represent a non-invasive liquid biopsy approach for the follow-up and therapy management of cancer patients. We evaluated whether DNA methylation status in CTCs and ctDNA is comparable and whether it reflects the status of primary tumours. We compared the methylation status of three genes, SOX17, CST6 and BRMS1 in primary tumour...
متن کاملCirculating Cell-Free Tumour DNA in the Management of Cancer
With the development of new sensitive molecular techniques, circulating cell-free tumour DNA containing mutations can be identified in the plasma of cancer patients. The applications of this technology may result in significant changes to the care and management of cancer patients. Whilst, currently, these "liquid biopsies" are used to supplement the histological diagnosis of cancer and metasta...
متن کاملDilemmas in managing patients with cancer of unknown primary
CANCER OF unknown primary (CUP) is an umbrella term for a number of heterogeneous clinical presentations associated with hidden (occult) primary tumours. Van de Wouw et al (2003) described CUP as: ‘A biopsy-proven metastasis of a malignancy in the absence of an identifiable primary site after a complete history and physical examination [has] been carried out, along with basic laboratory studies...
