Endoscopic Collection and Analysis of Gastric Fluid DNA: A Liquid Biopsy Methodology for Tumor Biomarker Discovery.
Collecting fluid directly from the stomach during endoscopy captures cancer DNA better than blood tests, improving early detection for gastric cancer.
This study presents a novel endoscopic gastric fluid DNA collection protocol as a liquid biopsy approach for gastric cancer, leveraging proximity to the tumor for higher sensitivity than peripheral blood. The methodology demonstrates feasibility and diagnostic promise for a cancer type with major global incidence and poor early detection rates.
