Detection and Characterization of Methylated Circulating Tumor DNA in Gastric Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Gastric cancer is the fifth most common disease in the world and the fourth most common cause of death. It is diagnosed through esophagogastroduodenoscopy with biopsy; however, there are limitations in finding lesions in the early stages. Recently, research has been actively conducted to use liquid biopsy to diagnose various cancers, including gastric cancer. Various substances derived from cancer are reflected in the blood.
