Sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of a liquid biopsy approach utilizing molecular amplification pools

Abstract Circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has the potential to be a specific biomarker for the therapeutic management of lung cancer patients. Here, a new sequencing error-reduction method based on molecular amplification pools (MAPs) was utilized to analyze cfDNA in lung cancer patients. We determ...
