Genomic analyses of liquid biopsies for diagnosis, monitoring and therapeutic stratification of paediatric cancers. Ghent University
While global survival of paediatric cancer is reaching up to 80%, cure rates remain disappointingly low for certain high risk types of tumours and for most relapsed cases. Moreover, studies on late effects of cancer treatment are showing high rates of chronic disease due to treatment related toxicities indicating the need for less toxic treatments in children.
Recent advances in genomic profiling techniques have enabled the study ...
