Patient Safety and Radiopharmaceuticals Administration: Minimizing Radiation Exposure and Risks

Worldwide Clinical Trials

Genetic Factors : Certain genetic mutations, such as those in DNA repair genes, can affect how cells respond to radiation. Individuals with familial cancer syndrome may have inherited mutations that predispose them to cancer development, affecting genes involved in DNA repair and cell cycle regulation.

The Utility of Liquid Biopsy in Oncology Clinical Trials

XTalks

Liquid biopsy tests in oncology involve isolating entities such as circulating tumor cells (CTC), circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and tumor-derived exosomes. The cfDNA that originates from tumors is called circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). These tumor-derived entities are used to derive genomic and proteomic data.
