Gene subtype detection in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is isolated from blood collected from patients with lung cancer. Circulating tumor DNA accounts for a small ratio of cfDNA fragments. Droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) and next-generation sequencing (NGS) are performed to test alterations in the lung cancer driver gene including gene mutation, copy number variations, and fusion genes.
