Several strategies can be designed to detect and characterize circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) using ddPCR. Examples of such strategies will be presented that are based either cancer-specific methylation markers or DNA integrity evaluation. We will then illustrate the pertinence of these approaches for the detection and monitoring of ctDNA in plasma (so-called liquid biopsy) of patients with localized or advanced cancers. Results of several prospective clinical studies will be presented. |
