Abstract:Introduction: Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) derived from apoptotic tumor cells is rapidly emerging as a non-invasive biomarker to detect the presence of tumor at a molecular level and guide therapy.

Methods: We included all patients with GIM for whom ctDNA was ordered from January 2020 to July 2021 at our center. Patient demographics, tumor type, pathology, stage, and radiographic findings were collec… Show more
