Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Verena Schwendinger"
- Verena Schwendinger's recent research focuses on the use of circulating biomarkers, specifically circulating cell-free DNA and disseminated tumor cells, as indicators for therapy monitoring in locally advanced rectal cancer patients undergoing preoperative chemoradiation.
- In her 2009 study, Schwendinger evaluated the potential of circulating plasma DNA levels to discriminate between therapy responders and nonresponders, suggesting a valuable role for this biomarker in treatment monitoring.
- A previous 2006 study explored the presence of disseminated tumor cells in peripheral blood as a novel marker for assessing therapy response, reinforcing the significance of monitoring these biomarkers in evaluating the effectiveness of preoperative treatments in advanced rectal cancer patients.
