Aberrant reduction of telomere repetitive sequences in plasma cell-free DNA for early breast cancer detection
Excessive telomere shortening is observed in breast cancer lesions when compared to adjacent non-cancerous tissues, suggesting that telomere length may represent a key biomarker for early cancer detection. Because tumor-derived, cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is often released from cancer cells and circulates in the bloodstream, we hypothesized that breast cancer development is associated with changes i...
متن کاملnon-invasive detection of esophageal cancer using genetic changes in circulating cell-free dna
cell free dna (cfdna) is a genetic biomarker that is present in serum or plasma in high concentration in many types of cancer. identification of circu-lating cancer related dna molecules in serum or plasma is a non-invasive tool for early diagnosis and prognosis in many cancer patients. for this review, study selection and data extraction were performed by the authors. detection of point mutati...
متن کاملAbnormal DNA methylation as a cell-free circulating DNA biomarker for colorectal cancer detection: A review of literature
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent malignancies in the world. CRC-associated morbidity and mortality is continuously increasing, in part due to a lack of early detection. The existing screening tools such as colonoscopy, are invasive and yet high cost, affecting the willingness of patients to participate in screening programs. In recent years, evidence is accumulating that the...
متن کاملUrine Cell-Free DNA Integrity Analysis for Early Detection of Prostate Cancer Patients
INTRODUCTION The detection of tumor-specific markers in urine has paved the way for new early noninvasive diagnostic approaches for prostate cancer. We evaluated the DNA integrity in urine supernatant to verify its capacity to discriminate between prostate cancer and benign diseases of the urogenital tract. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 131 individuals were enrolled: 67 prostate cancer pati...
