“…Aside from therapeutically relevant ctDNA alterations, they also noted that one or a number of other molecular alterations could be identified in the circulating DNA of these patients and Andersen and Jakobsen demonstrated that driver mutations in RAS and RAF seen in the tumors can typically be identified in cfDNA [3, 4]. Also, a patient with a molecularly diagnosed cholangiocarcinoma based on clinical suspicion and after multiple failed attempts at a tissue diagnosis has been described [5]. Identifying cfDNA with any of the oncogenic molecular abnormalities seen in the tumors of patients with known cholangiocarcinomas would be unexpected in patients without known underlying malignancies [6].…”
