Abstract
Recent studies have shown that ultrashort plasma cell-free DNA (uscfDNA), a novel type of cfDNA fragment approximately 50 nucleotides long, differs from conventional monocyte-derived cfDNA in several aspects, including specific extraction requirements and a higher incidence of tumor-specific genetic alterations. uscfDNA shows promise in enhancing liquid biopsy sensitivity for cancer detection, with distinct methylation profiles observed in cancer patients. These findings suggest uscfDNA analysis could significantly improve non-invasive cancer diagnostics, offering new avenues for early detection and personalized medicine strategies.
