Detection of Tumor DNA in Blood Samples From Patients With Late Stage Cancer and "Healthy Controls"
The aim of this study is to employ genomic detection methodologies to measure the relative
amount of tumor nucleic acids in the blood of a cancer patient with diagnosed metastatic
disease that is either commencing, currently undergoing or completed cytotoxic chemotherapy
treatment. More generally, this approach will allow us to develop a quantitative measure of
therapy efficacy via the counting of the relative changes in tumor molecules over the course
of treatment.
