TERT promoter mutated circulating tumor DNA as a biomarker for prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma.

CONCLUSION: The plasma TERT mutation was detected in 44% of HCC patients and in none of non-HCC cirrhotic patients; and was associated with increased mortality. We propose the TERT C228T mutation in ctDNA as a promising HCC biomarker for prognosis. PMID: 33103505 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
