meta4diag: Bayesian Bivariate Meta-Analysis of Diagnostic Test Studies for Routine Practice [PDF]

Journal of Statistical Software, 2018
This paper introduces the \proglang{R} package \pkg{meta4diag} for implementing Bayesian bivariate meta-analyses of diagnostic test studies. Our package \pkg{meta4diag} is a purpose-built front end of the \proglang{R} package \pkg{INLA}. While \pkg{INLA} offers full Bayesian inference for the large set of latent Gaussian models using integrated nested ...

Unlocking the potential of tumor‐derived DNA in urine for cancer detection: methodological challenges and opportunities

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Urine is a rich source of biomarkers for cancer detection. Tumor‐derived material is released into the bloodstream and transported to the urine. Urine can easily be collected from individuals, allowing non‐invasive cancer detection. This review discusses the rationale behind urine‐based cancer detection and its potential for cancer diagnostics ...

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
