Liquid Biopsy: Advances, Limitations and Clinical Applications
As an important part of precision medicine, liquid biopsy attracts more and more attention of scholars and clinicians. It refers to the real-time monitoring of the dynamic alterations of tumor by detecting circulating tumor cells (CTCs), circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and exosomes in patients’ plasma or serum. Thus, liquid biopsy has irreplaceable advantages in tumor early diagnosis, progression...
متن کاملCurrent Limitations of Murine Models in Oncology for Ascorbate Research
The role of vitamin C (ascorbate) in cancer prevention, tumor growth, and treatment is of intense public interest. Clinical trial data have been sparse, contradictory, and highly controversial, and robust pre-clinical data are required for progress. This paper reviews pre-clinical models and their limitations with respect to ascorbate research. Most studies have utilized animals able to synthes...
متن کامل[Limitations and pitfalls of clinical studies in oncology].
Nowadays results of clinical studies in oncology are often first found and commented in the news media because of their high relevance to the pharmaceutical market. The limits and pitfalls of clinical studies are manifold and not always appreciated even by specialists as well as journalists and politicians.

متن کاملProcess Mining for Clinical Workflows: Challenges and Current Limitations
Process mining is an emerging technology in the context of Business Process Management with the goal to derive process models from observed system behavior. The global goals are: to detect previously unknown process structures, to implement consistent process controlling which may involve computation of realistic cycle times and frequency of occurrence of process pathways, or to quantify the co...
متن کاملMicroRNA Markers for the Diagnosis of Pancreatic and Biliary-Tract Cancers
It is difficult to detect pancreatic cancer or biliary-tract cancer at an early stage using current diagnostic technology. Utilizing microRNA (miRNA) markers that are stably present in peripheral blood, we aimed to identify pancreatic and biliary-tract cancers in patients. With "3D-Gene", a highly sensitive microarray, we examined comprehensive miRNA expression profiles in 571 serum samples obt...
