Technological advances, in particular the development of high-throughput sequencing, have led to the emergence of a new generation of molecular biomarkers for tumors. These new tools have profoundly changed therapeutic management in oncology, with in...
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...
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...
PURPOSE: To use modern machine learning approaches to enhance and automate the feature extraction from the longitudinal circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) data and to improve the prediction of survival and disease progression, risk stratification, and tre...

Liquid biopsy has multiple benefits and is used extensively in other fields of oncology, but its role in neuro-oncology has been limited so far. Multiple tumour-derived materials like circulating tumour cells (CTCs), tumour-educated platelets (TEPs),...
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...
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...

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) ...
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...
