[Clinical Application of Cancer Molecular Diagnostics with Liquid Biopsy]
Abstract:
"Liquid biopsy" is one of the hottest topics in the cancer molecular diagnostics field because of its potential to replace conventional tissue biopsy. "BEAMing" is one of the digital PCR platform technologies for liquid biopsy samples, and it features a high enough sensitivity to detect a very low concentration of mutation frag- ments in circulating tumor DNA from the plasma of cancer patients. In this article, some of the promising clinical applications of BEAMing technology and its future possibilities as an advanced cancer diagnostic will be briefly summarized. [Review].
