The interplay of circulating tumor DNA and chromatin modification, therapeutic resistance, and metastasis
Abstract Peripheral circulating free DNA (cfDNA) is DNA that is detected in plasma or serum fluid with a cell-free status. For cancer patients, cfDNA not only originates from apoptotic cells but also from necrotic tumor cells and disseminated tumor cells that have escaped into the blood during epith...
