Deskripsi

‘Circulating cell-free DNA can be used to predict cancer, but it is more challenging to assess in early stage cancer. Here, the authors created a diagnostic model using tumor fractions deciphered from circulating cfDNA methylation signatures, which exhibited an 86% sensitivity in detecting early-stage cancer.
