Abstract:
The detection and analysis of circulating tumour DNA and/or circulating tumour cells in the blood of cancer patients open new possibilities for cancer characterisation and management. The approach has generated much commercial interest, but still requires more proof of clinical utility; it is however likely to play an important role in monitoring the evolution of cancer cells during therapy.
