Abstract:
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a revolutionary tool in the detection and monitoring of cancer: a minimally invasive, highly sensitive approach to analysing tumor-specific DNA in the bloodstream. Therefore, it is of interest to explore the current and evolving landscape of cancer genomics as precision tools in quantifying tumor dynamics. Thus, the role of ctDNA in tracking minimum residual disease, relapse, recurrence and the tailoring of therapeutic strategies for effective management of tumours is reviewed.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...
Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...
