Increased Plasma DNA Integrity in Cancer Patients (JHU Ref 4206)
|
|
This invention provides evidence that increased DNA integrity in plasma DNA can be detected in a substantial percentage of patients with potentially curable cancers at an apparently high specificity. This assay system, in contrast to other more sophisticated techniques, may offer a relatively simple and less expensive tool for cancer detection in the general population
