Circulating nucleic acids in plasma and serum: diagnosis and prognosis in cancer

Abstract: The presence of DNA and RNA circulating in human plasma and serum is described. The known sources of the DNA/RNA in blood, the ability of these nucleic acids to enter other cells and to express in the recipient cells are considered along with their relationship to metastases. The possible role(s) of the DNA/RNA in personalized clinical diagnosis, monitoring of treatment and prognosis in oncology are discussed.

“…Current efforts are focused on the development of pathologyspecific diagnostic tools that could enable the precise estimation of a predisposition to breast cancer, to predict and monitor disease progression followed by personalized therapy planning. The most promising minimally invasive and pathology-specific approaches are the detection of circulating nucleic acids and protein/metabolites profiling in blood serum-circulating leukocytes [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12].…”

“…Nonetheless, a few general trends can be identified, namely: (i) according to the personalized medicine, a patient's health should be based on the specific characteristics of an individual, including age, gender, height, weight, information on gene expressions, etc. This would help estimate, for example, the risk of cancer, that of heart disease, or of diabetes, and assist in planning therapy; (ii) great efforts are being made to select segments of DNA as well as of RNA [12][13][14][15][16] or even to determine the diseaseindicator role of circulating tumor-derived nucleic acids in cancer patients [17]. These nucleic acids may serve as tumor markers; (iii) the pharmacogenetics of drugmetabolizing enzymes is responsible for a significant portion of drug-induced toxicity.…”
