This study from Cancer Research UK and a large team of collaborators is a continuation of work evaluating circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and the significance of sub-167 base pair cell-free DNA as a marker for tumors. Samples from a cohort of 200 patients were tested and show significantly improved detection of ctDNA by size selecting DNA between 90-150 bp, and using the TAm-Seq technique to detect mutations. PippinHT was used for DNA size selection.
