Abstract
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis is now a widely used diagnostic approach in the management of patients with solid tumors, including gene fusion-driven lung cancer. However, the accurate detection of genetic rearrangements in ctDNA presents considerable technical challenges. Consequently, studies that assess and compare methodologies for detection are vital.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Cancer Research is a journal focusing on groundbreaking research in cancer, specifically in the areas where the laboratory and the clinic intersect. Our primary interest lies in clinical trials that investigate novel treatments, accompanied by research on pharmacology, molecular alterations, and biomarkers that can predict response or resistance to these treatments. Furthermore, we prioritize laboratory and animal studies that explore new drugs and targeted agents with the potential to advance to clinical trials. We also encourage research on targetable mechanisms of cancer development, progression, and metastasis.
