Analytical and clinical validation of a custom 15-gene next-generation sequencing panel for the evaluation of circulating tumor DNA mutations in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer
Abstract:Background
This is a pilot proof-of-concept study to evaluate the utility of a custom 15-gene circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) panel as a potential companion molecular next-generation sequencing (NGS) assay for identifying somatic single nucleotide variants and indels in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. The custom panel covers the hotspot mutations in EGFR, KRAS, NRAS, BRAF, PIK3CA, ERBB2, MET, KIT, PDGFRA, ALK, ROS1, RET, NTRK1, NTRK2 and NTRK3 genes which serve as biomarkers for guiding treatment de… Show more
