Liquid Biopsy: The Challenges of a Revolutionary Approach in Oncology.

International journal of molecular sciences
Liquid biopsy has gained attention in oncology as a non-invasive diagnostic tool, offering valuable insights into tumor biology through the analysis of circulating nucleic acid (cfDNA and cfRNA), circulating tumor cells (CTCs), extracellular vesicles...

Plasma and Urine Circulating Tumor DNA Methylation Profiles for Non-Invasive Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Detection: Significant Findings in Plasma Only.

International journal of molecular sciences
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a lethal malignancy with limited treatment options, and early detection remains challenging due to the lack of reliable non-invasive biomarkers. This study investigated plasma and urine circulating tumor deo...

A deep-learning model for quantifying circulating tumour DNA from the density distribution of DNA-fragment lengths.

Nature biomedical engineering
The quantification of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) in blood enables non-invasive surveillance of cancer progression. Here we show that a deep-learning model can accurately quantify ctDNA from the density distribution of cell-free DNA-fragment lengt...

The Role of ctDNA in the Management of Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer in the AI and NGS Era.

International journal of molecular sciences
Liquid biopsy (LB) involves the analysis of circulating tumour-derived DNA (ctDNA), providing a minimally invasive method for gathering both quantitative and qualitative information. Genomic analysis of ctDNA through next-generation sequencing (NGS) ...

Integrating machine learning-predicted circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in metastatic breast cancer: A proof of principle study on endocrine resistance profiling.

Cancer letters
The study explored endocrine resistance by leveraging machine learning to establish the prognostic stratification of predicted Circulating tumor cells (CTCs), assessing its integration with circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) features and contextually eval...

Ultrasensitive plasma-based monitoring of tumor burden using machine-learning-guided signal enrichment.

Nature medicine
In solid tumor oncology, circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is poised to transform care through accurate assessment of minimal residual disease (MRD) and therapeutic response monitoring. To overcome the sparsity of ctDNA fragments in low tumor fraction (T...

Fragmentomics features of ovarian cancer.

International journal of cancer
Ovarian cancer (OC) is a major cause of cancer mortality in women worldwide. Due to the occult onset of OC, its nonspecific clinical symptoms in the early phase, and a lack of effective early diagnostic tools, most OC patients are diagnosed at an adv...

The impact of misclassification errors on the performance of biomarkers based on next-generation sequencing, a simulation study.

Journal of biopharmaceutical statistics
The development of next-generation sequencing (NGS) opens opportunities for new applications such as liquid biopsy, in which tumor mutation genotypes can be determined by sequencing circulating tumor DNA after blood draws. However, with highly dilute...

Ultrasensitive detection of circulating tumour DNA via deep methylation sequencing aided by machine learning.

Nature biomedical engineering
The low abundance of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) in plasma samples makes the analysis of ctDNA biomarkers for the detection or monitoring of early-stage cancers challenging. Here we show that deep methylation sequencing aided by a machine-learning...
