Extracellular Vesicle-Derived DNA vs. CfDNA as a Biomarker for the Detection of Colon Cancer

Liquid biopsy has emerged as a promising non-invasive way to diagnose tumor and monitor its progression. Different types of liquid biopsies have different advantages and limitations. In the present research, we compared the use of two types of liquid biopsy, extracellular vesicle-derived DNA (EV-DNA) and cell-free DNA (cfDNA) for identifying tumor mutations in patients with colon carcinoma.DNA was extracted from the tumor tissue of 33 patients...
