Cancer diagnosis and determining tissue of origin are crucial for personalized medicine. Existing diagnostic techniques have limitations, but circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and cancer stem cell-ctDNA can overcome these challenges. Quantum superstructures offer ultra-sensitive detection of ctDNA and can effectively diagnose cancer.
Cancer diagnosis and determining its tissue of origin are crucial for clinical implementation of personalized medicine. Conventional diagnostic techniques such as imaging and tissue biopsy are unable to capture the dynamic tumor landscape. Although circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) shows promise for diagnosis, the clinical relevance of ctDNA remains largely undetermined due to several biological and technical complexities. Here, cancer stem cell-ctDNA is used to overcome the biological complexities like the inability for molecular analysis of ctDNA and dependence on ctDNA concentration rather than the molecular profile. Ultrasensitive quantum superstructures overcome the technical complexities of trace-level detection and rapid diagnosis to detect ctDNA within its short half-life. Activation of multiple surface enhanced Raman scattering mechanisms of the quantum superstructures achieved a very high enhancement factor (1.35 x 10(11)) and detection at ultralow concentration (10(-15) M) with very high reliability (RSD: 3-12%). Pilot validation with clinical plasma samples from an independent validation cohort achieved a diagnosis sensitivity of approximate to 95% and specificity of 83%. Quantum superstructures identified the tissue of origin with approximate to 75-86% sensitivity and approximate to 92-96% specificity. With large scale clinical validation, the technology can develop into a clinically useful liquid biopsy tool improving cancer diagnostics.
