Scientists from Elphogene and the Genomac Research Institute in collaboration with leading Czech oncology centers have published an article in the international scientific journal World Journal of Gastroenterology.
The article entitled "Significance of postoperative follow-up of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer using circulating DNA tumor" was published on December 28, 2019 and summarizes the results of ctDNA analysis in 47 patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. The main outcome of this article is that ctDNA detection in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer is a viable tool for early detection of disease recurrence as well as for confirmation of the radicality of surgical treatment.
