Targeted next-generation sequencing of plasma DNA from cancer patients: factors influencing consistency with tumour DNA and prospective investigation of its utility for diagnosis

Use of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) as a liquid biopsy has been proposed for potential identification and monitoring of solid tumours. We investigate a next-generation sequencing approach for mutation detection in ctDNA in two related studies using a targeted panel. The first study was retrospecti...
