| Research Abstract |
This study found that cell-free DNA and microRNA stably exist in the peripheral blood of patients with digestive tract cancers, and detections of tumor-specific abnormalities in the circulating nucleic acids reflect tumor dynamics of primary lesions to some de gree. This study also indicated that detection of tumor-specific amplification and microRNA in the peripheral blood could be useful as not only complementary tumor markers but also prognostic markers for digestive tract cancers.
