Biliary tract cancer (BTC) is a rare but aggressive malignancy that requires surgical treatment. However, postoperative recurrence rates are high, and reliable predictors of limited. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness cell-free DNA (cfDNA) circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in predicting early after curative surgery complete adjuvant therapy patients with BTC.

Abstract Background Liquid biopsy (LB) offers a promising, minimally invasive alternative to traditional tissue biopsies in cancer care, enabling real-time monitoring and personalized treatment. Despite its potential, the routine implementation of LB clinical practice faces significant challenges. This scoping review examines barriers facilitators influencing liquid into standard care. Methods Four academic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web Science) were systematically searched without language restrictions. We included peer-reviewed articles that published between January 2019 March 2024 focused on care or described implementation. Data relevant objective, including key article characteristics; implementation; recommendations for advancement optimisation; extracted analysed using thematic visual network analyses. Results The majority narrative (84%), with most from China (24.2%) United States (20%). Thematic analysis identified four main categories their associated care: (1) Laboratory personnel requirements; (2) Disease specificity; (3) Biomarker-based biopsy; (4) Policy regulation. concentrated pre-analytical phase, highlighting lack standardization technologies outcomes. Conclusions Through implementation, we present an integrated tool designed encourage testing methods guidelines field.

Head and neck cancers (HNCs) constitute a wide range of malignancies originating from the epithelial lining upper aerodigestive tract, including oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, nasal paranasal sinuses, salivary glands. Although lymphomas affecting this region are not conventionally classified as HNCs, they may occur in lymph nodes or mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues within head neck. Oncogenic viruses play crucial role HNC onset. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is extensively studied for its association with oropharyngeal cancers; nevertheless, other oncogenic also contribute to development. This review provides an overview epidemiology, pathogenesis, advancements detection methods associated recognizing HPV's well-established while exploring additional viral connections. Notably, Epstein-Barr virus linked nasopharyngeal carcinoma lymphomas. herpesvirus 8 implicated Kaposi's sarcoma, Merkel cell polyomavirus subsets HNCs. Additionally, hepatitis examined their potential Understanding contributions area critical refining therapeutic approaches. underlines interaction between region, highlighting necessity ongoing research elucidate mechanisms enhance clinical outcomes.

Urinary cell-free DNA (ucfDNA) is a valuable resource for truly non-invasive liquid biopsy. UcfDNA comprises transrenal ucfDNA passing from the bloodstream through glomeruli and locally shed urinary-tract ucfDNA. Understanding their differences in characteristics may enable new diagnostic applications. We analyzed 136 samples healthy controls, pregnant women, patients with chronic kidney diseases (CKDs), bladder cancer using massively parallel sequencing. Fragmentomic including fragment sizes 5' end motifs were deduced. The relationship between chromatin accessibility was examined by overlapping open regions (OCRs, lacking histones) heterochromatin (HCRs, tightly packed histones). Compared ucfDNA, shorter enriched C-ends. over-represented OCRs but depleted HCRs, indicating an interplay glomerular filtration barrier effective cfDNA size. In proteinuria (preeclampsia CKDs), amount of HCRs increased, suggesting elevated permeability histone-bound plasma molecules. oncology, use hypomethylation signals enhanced detection, area under receiver operating characteristic curve 0.93. Chromatin states impact clearance DNA, likely size restriction barrier. This realization has enabled rational development novel approaches detecting or monitoring renal dysfunction urological cancers.
