Article Synopsis
  • New technology, like high-throughput sequencing, helps scientists understand tumors better, leading to personalized treatments for cancer patients.
  • 'Liquid biopsies' allow doctors to see important genetic information in a patient's blood, making it easier to check for cancer without surgery.
  • As more data is collected, artificial intelligence will help analyze it, but this raises important questions about ethics and how it will affect healthcare.

In oncology, the identification of targets that correlate with a type of cancer has led to a profound change in the notion of "tumor markers". Technological advances, in particular the development of high-throughput sequencing, have led to the emergence of a new generation of molecular biomarkers for tumors. Despite their limited utility for screening and diagnosis, conventional tumor markers remain interesting for evaluation of prognoses, the choice and optimization of treatments, as well as for monitoring the effectiveness of those treatments.

Aim: Despite unprecedented results of anti-programmed death protein (ligand) 1 (PD-(L)1) immune checkpoint inhibitor in the oncology's armamentarium, immune-related adverse events (irAEs) represent a therapeutic hurdle. Currently, there is no consensual recommendation on a routinely monitored biomarker to early detect irAE. Biological markers such as serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) are commonly used to measure muscular tissue injury.

The quantification of very low concentrations of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) biomarkers from liquid biopsies has become an important requirement for clinical diagnostics and personalized medicine. In particular, the simultaneous detection of wild-type (WT) dsDNA and their cancer-related counterparts presenting single-point mutations with simple, sensitive, specific, and reproducible technologies is paramount for ctDNA assays in clinical practice. Here, we present the development and evaluation of an amplified dsDNA assay based on a combination of isothermal rolling circle amplification (RCA) and time-gated Förster resonance energy transfer (TG-FRET) between a Tb donor and two dye (Cy3.
