摘要: We assessed the utility of droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) to evaluate potential using circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) as a post therapy monitoring tool in melanoma by comparing it serum LDH levels and RECIST scores. ddPCR was shown be reliable distinguishing mutant from wild type alleles with no false positives. Subsequently, we quantified ctDNA (V600EBRAF,V600KBRAF or Q61HNRAS) 6 stage IV patients across several time points during their treatment course. All tested had detectable ctDNA, which exhibited dynamic changes corresponding disease status. The fell upon response rose progression. In our group patients, more consistent informative than blood-based biomarker. addition, BRAF detected could used diagnostically where block unavailable. conclusion, this study demonstrates applicability detect quantify plasma patients.
