Fragment size and level of cell-free DNA provide prognostic information in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer

Abstract Background It was recently demonstrated that the size of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) fragments that originates from tumor cells are shorter than cfDNA fragments that originates from non-malignant cells. We investigated whether cfDNA fragment size and cfDNA levels might have prognostic value in pa...
