Clinical applications of next‐generation sequencing‐based ctDNA analyses in breast cancer: defining treatment targets and dynamic changes during disease progression

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) offers a possibility for different applications in early and late stage breast cancer management. In early breast cancer tumor informed approaches are increasingly used for detecting molecular residual disease (MRD) and early recurrence. In advanced stage, ctDNA provides a possibility for monitoring disease progression and

Associations between accurate measures of adiposity and fitness, blood proteins, and insulin sensitivity among South Asians and Europeans

Frontiers in Endocrinology
ObjectiveSouth Asians (SAs) may possess a unique predisposition to insulin resistance (IR). We explored this possibility by investigating the relationship between ‘gold standard’ measures of adiposity, fitness, selected proteomic biomarkers, and insulin ...

Estimation of Diagnostic Test Accuracy Without Gold Standards

Statistics in Medicine
ABSTRACTThe ideal evaluation of diagnostic test performance requires a reference test that is free of errors. However, for many diseases, obtaining such a “gold standard” reference is either impossible or prohibitively expensive. Estimating test accuracy in the absence of a gold standard is therefore a significant challenge.
