Diagnostic significance assessment of the circulating cell-free DNA in ovarian cancer: An updated meta-analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: Our meta-analysis found the qualitative detection (methylation); TNM stage I-IV, publication year 2011-2018 were related to more effective diagnostic accuracy for OC. However, serum-based cell-free DNA detection should be cautiously interpreted due to unclear factors. Hence, further large-scale longitudinal studies are required to validate the diagnostic potential of cell-free DNA. The present study provides to accrue knowledge of cell-free DNA levels for future researches.
