Tumor Cellular DNA (tDNA)

Target
tDNA
Molecular classification
Nucleic Acid, DNA, Genomic Material
01

Overview

Tumor cellular DNA encompasses the genetic material within cancer cells, characterized by an accumulation of somatic mutations and structural alterations that drive uncontrolled proliferation and other hallmarks of malignancy. Analysis of tumor cellular DNA is crucial for diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy selection in cancer patients. It is not a direct therapeutic target itself, but rather the source of targetable mutations.
