What are Common Applications of qRT-PCR in Cancer?
qRT-PCR is applied in various aspects of cancer research and clinical practice:
Biomarker Discovery: Identifying gene signatures associated with specific cancer types or treatment responses. Mutation Detection: Detecting known mutations in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. Treatment Monitoring: Evaluating the efficacy of therapies by measuring changes in gene expression levels. Prognosis: Assessing the likelihood of disease recurrence or progression based on gene expression profiles.
