Purpose: Liquid biopsy offers an attractive platform for noninvasive tumor diagnosis, prognostication, and prediction of glioblastoma clinical outcomes. Prior studies report that 30% to 50% of GBM lesions characterized by EGFR amplification also harbor the EGFRvIII mutation.
Experimental Design: A novel digital droplet PCR (ddPCR) assay for high GC content amplicons was developed and optimized for sensitive detection of EGFRvIII in tumor tissue and circulating extracellular vesicle RNA (EV RNA) isolated from the plasma of patients with glioma.
