Circulating Tumor Cells, DNA, and mRNA: Potential for Clinical Utility in Patients With Melanoma

Abstract: Circulating tumor cells (CTCs), circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), and messenger RNA (mRNA), collectively termed circulating tumor products (CTPs), represent areas of immense interest from scientists' and clinicians' perspectives. In melanoma, CTP analysis may have clinical utility in many areas, from screening and diagnosis to clinical decisionmaking aids, as surveillance biomarkers or sources of realtime genetic or molecular characterization. In addition, CTP analysis can be useful in the discovery of new biomar… Show more

“…Cell-free DNA is released from both normal and tumour cells via a variety of mechanisms, including apoptosis and necrosis. ctDNA contains the same genetic alterations present in the source tumour (4)(5)(6). In particular, ctDNA with mutations in EGFR, KRAS, or BRAF is detected in cancer patients, and the detection of mutations in ctDNA is under investigation as a specific biomarker for the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with different cancer types (7)(8)(9)(10)(11).…”

“…In addition, there is a growing number of reports indicating that the profiling of RNA derived from blood samples is a valuable technique in clinical genetics. In particular, RNA profiling is claimed to be potentially highly useful in the diagnosis of cancer [4][5][6][7] or autoimmune diseases [8].…”
