DENVER — Three manuscripts published
in the recent issue of the Journal of Thoracic Oncology, the official journal of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC), explored the versatility of liquid biopsies by identifying EGFR mutations using circulating

The accuracy of next - generation sequencing (NGS) for detecting
tumor - specific mutations
in plasma DNA is hindered by errors introduced during PCR / sequencing, base substitutions caused by DNA damage, and pre-existing mutations
in normal
cells that are present at a low frequency.
These powerful emotions trigger adrenal hormone release — the physiological effects of which include activation of adipocyte lipase (resulting
in mobilization of free fatty acids) and partial inhibition of protein synthesis, i.e., the
plasma amino acids which are normally (readily) utilized by nonmalignant
cells for protein synthesis are only partially used resulting
in an increase
in the availability of amino acids to meet
tumor cell metabolic needs.
