Abstract:Introduction Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a non-invasive marker that can provide more information on genetic and epigenetic alterations in tumor cells. The epigenetic modifications occur in the early stages of cancer, thus, it is considered as a target for early detection and prevention. The current study is to develop a ctDNA-probe based technology using capture, enrichment and analysis of epigenetic markers for early detection of breast cancer (BC). Materials and Methods: ctDNA from 45 women with early s… Show more
