Circulating tumor DNA in molecular assessment feasibly predicts early progression of pancreatic cancer that cannot be identified via initial imaging

Abstract Molecular assessment using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has not been well-defined. We recruited 61 pancreatic cancer (PC) patients who underwent initial computed tomography (CT) imaging study during first-line chemotherapy. Initial molecular assessment was performed using droplet digital P...
