Needs a less technical introduction[edit]

And maybe find source of current content so we can cite it. - Rod57 (talk) 05:36, 19 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Need detail on the procedure[edit]

What mutations do the various tests look for, and how do they do it ? ('gene' chips ?) ? Is it essential to centrifuge ? or can leukocytes be filtered out ?

Possible rename[edit]

Since there is more to say on the testing than the ctDNA itself Perhaps this should be renamed Cell-free tumour DNA testing or split the article ? - Rod57 (talk) 12:29, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Visualization[edit]

Amazing Visualization! What application was used for making the first figure?
