Cell-free DNA captures tumor heterogeneity and driver alterations in rapid autopsies with pre-treated metastatic cancer

It is currently unclear if cell-free DNA samples from metastatic cancers are as informative as tissue ones for cancer profiling. Here the authors show that cell-free DNA samples from rapid autopsies capture clonal and subclonal alterations of metastatic tumours and reveal more driver alterations tha...

Sumario:It is currently unclear if cell-free DNA samples from metastatic cancers are as informative as tissue ones for cancer profiling. Here the authors show that cell-free DNA samples from rapid autopsies capture clonal and subclonal alterations of metastatic tumours and reveal more driver alterations than single tissue samples.
