Cell-free chromatin epigenomic profiling enables non-invasive pancreatic cancer cell-state identification
Blood-based epigenomic testing may detect pancreatic cancer non-invasively, though these findings need peer review validation before clinical use.
This medRxiv preprint reports cell-free chromatin-based epigenomic liquid biopsy capable of identifying distinct pancreatic cancer cell states non-invasively from blood. The approach addresses the critical diagnostic gap in early pancreatic cancer detection, though as a preprint these findings require peer review validation.
