Monitoring cfDNA in Plasma and in Other Liquid Biopsies of Advanced EGFR Mutated NSCLC Patients: A Pilot Study and a Review of the Literature
In order to study alternatives at the tissue biopsy to study EGFR status in NSCLC patients, we evaluated three different liquid biopsy platforms (plasma, urine and exhaled breath condensate, EBC). We also reviewed the literature of the cfDNA biological sources other than plasma and compared our resu...
