Is Cell-Free DNA the Next Big Thing in Cancer Diagnosis and Screening?

Written by BIS Research | Feb 14, 2022 10:27:00 AM

Due to the increasing cases of conditions such as cancer, key players and the government are heavily investing in initiatives such as cell-free DNA isolation and extraction for diagnosing cancer. Hence, there has been an increased demand for cell-free DNA isolation kits, tubes, and other consumables.

The constant investments, growing adoption of cell-free DNA isolation and extraction kits are propelling the growth of the global cell-free DNA isolation and extraction market.

The global cell-free DNA isolation and extraction market was valued at $169.9 million in 2020 and is expected to reach $735.1 million by 2031, witnessing a CAGR of 14.19% during the forecast period 2021-2031.

What is Cell-Free DNA?

Non-encapsulated DNA in the bloodstream is known as cell-free DNA. It is released into the circulatory system throughout the body. It can be found in plasma, cerebral spinal fluid, pleural fluid, urine, saliva, and other fluids in the body. Most of the plasma cell-free DNA molecules originate from the hematopoietic system in the body of healthy individuals.

However, in certain pathological or psychological conditions such as organ transplants, pregnancy, immune diseases, and cancers, additional DNA can be released into the bloodstream by the affected tissues. Furthermore, cell-free DNA can be very instrumental in helping healthcare professionals detect abnormalities in individuals by a non-invasive method.

For example, non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT) can help screen several common chromosomal conditions in the fetus by analyzing cell-free DNA.

Use of Cell-Free DNA in Detecting Cancer

The analysis of nucleic acids and protein biomarkers is a popular method for cancer diagnosis, risk stratification, and molecular targeting therapeutics. However, biomarker studies are based on the analysis of tumor tissues that are acquired from invasive surgical procedures such as biopsy.

Newer techniques with non-invasive diagnoses are needed. Cell-free DNA analysis has attracted increasing attention due to its non-invasive nature and easy accessibility.

Cancer patients sometimes have a high level of cell-free DNA in their serum or plasma due to cellular breakdown (cellular necrosis or apoptosis). This cell-free DNA can be used for cancer diagnosis, treatment response prediction, disease progression monitoring, and as a cancer prognostic biomarker.
