Tumor derived plasma cell-free DNA (TcfDNA) is described as biomarker to monitor tumor burden in cancer. Large somatic genome aberrations are hallmarks of malignancies and detectable in cfDNA. However, levels of TcfDNA are variable according to cancer types. We obtained copy-number instability (CNI) scores of cfDNA in treatment-naïve head and neck cancers before and after therapy.

Genomic instability of tumor cells has been associated with a poor prognosis. However, impaired DNA repair pathways leading to genomic instability are also described to increase tumor sensitivity to DNA damaging agents. A comprehensive Genomic Change Index (GCI) as an indicator of defective DNA repair is proposed as a potential predictor of cytotoxic chemotherapy (chemo) response.

Prostate cancer (PrCa) is the most frequent non-dermatological malignancy in the male population. Genomic instability resulting in copy number variation (CNV) is a hallmark of malignant transformation.
