The effect of surgical trauma on circulating free DNA levels in cancer patients—implications for studies of circulating tumor DNA
Detection of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) post‐treatment is an emerging marker of residual disease. ctDNA constitutes only a minor fraction of the cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) circulating in cancer patients, complicating ctDNA detection. This is exacerbated by trauma‐induced cfDNA. To guide optimal blood...
