Separation of ctDNA by superparamagnetic bead particles in microfluidic platform for early cancer detection

Conventional biopsy, based on extraction from a tumor of a solid tissue specimen requiring needles, endoscopic devices, excision or surgery, is at risk of infection, internal bleeding or prolonged recovery. A non-invasive liquid biopsy is one of the greatest axiomatic consequences of the identificat...

Description
Summary:Conventional biopsy, based on extraction from a tumor of a solid tissue specimen requiring needles, endoscopic devices, excision or surgery, is at risk of infection, internal bleeding or prolonged recovery. A non-invasive liquid biopsy is one of the greatest axiomatic consequences of the identification of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a replaceable surgical tumor bioQpsy technique. Most of the literature studies thus far presented ctDNA detection at almost final stage III or IV of cancer, where the treatment option or cancer management is nearly impossible for diagnosis.
