The Role of ctDNA in Gastric Cancer
Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) has potential applications in gastric cancer (GC) with respect to screening, the detection of minimal residual disease (MRD) following curative surgery, and in the advanced disease setting for treatment decision making and therapeutic monitoring. It can provide a less invasive and convenient method to capture the tumoural

A Case of Metastatic Atypical Neuroendocrine Tumor with ALK Translocation and Diffuse Brain Metastases. [PDF]
A challenge in precision medicine requires identification of actionable driver mutations. Critical to such effort is the deployment of sensitive and well-validated assays for mutation detection.

Cancer cells release nucleic acids, freely or associated with other structures such as vesicles into body fluids, including blood. Among these nucleic acids, circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has emerged as a minimally invasive biomarker for tumor molecular ...

ctDNA guiding adjuvant immunotherapy in urothelial carcinoma
Minimally invasive approaches to detect residual disease after surgery are needed to identify patients with cancer who are at risk for metastatic relapse. Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) holds promise as a biomarker for molecular residual disease and relapse1.

One of the greatest challenges in neuro-oncology is diagnosis and therapy (theranostics) of leptomeningeal metastasis (LM), brain metastasis (BM) and brain tumors (BT), which are associated with poor prognosis in patients.

Evaluation of pre-analytical factors affecting plasma DNA analysis. [PDF]
Pre-analytical factors can significantly affect circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) analysis. However, there are few robust methods to rapidly assess sample quality and the impact of pre-analytical processing. To address this gap and to evaluate effects of

Circulating Tumor Cells and ctDNA in Sarcomas
Sarcomas are clustered in two oncological entities named bone and soft-tissue sarcomas. Both are rare cancers originating from the mesenchyme, characterized by their propensity to induce the development of lung metastases. Sarcoma cells escaping from the primary tumor site, spread to the pulmonary tissue through the bloodstream where they found a ...

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles
Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

Cerebrospinal fluid circulating tumor DNA depicts profiling of brain metastasis in NSCLC
Brain metastasis (BM) genetically diverges from the primary tumor in non‐small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Hence, accurately capturing clinically relevant alterations is pivotal for the delivery of targeted therapies.

The paradox of cancer genes in non-malignant conditions: implications for precision medicine. [PDF]
Next-generation sequencing has enabled patient selection for targeted drugs, some of which have shown remarkable efficacy in cancers that have the cognate molecular signatures.
