Souhrn

Východiská: Podstatou moderných postupov liečby onkologických pacientov je v dnešnej dobe zacielenie konkrétnych molekúl zapojených do bunkovej signalizácie asociovanej s nádorovou iniciáciou a progresiou. Úspech uvedeného prístupu závisí od správne zvoleného diagnostického testu s vysokou citlivosťou, ktorý identifikuje výskyt a hladinu vybraných biomarkerov u pacientov pre selekciu tých, ktorí budú na liečivo reagovať a budú z neho benefitovať. Vývoj nových technológií a modernizácia tých známych, prispievajú k inováciám molekulárnej charakterizácie karcinómov, ktorá umožňuje detekciu mutačného stavu pacienta s vysokou citlivosťou a špecifickosťou. Cieľ: V práci diskutujeme o využití polymerázovej reťazovej reakcie (PCR) tretej generácie, tzv. droplet digitálnej PCR (ddPCR), v molekulárnej diagnostike karcinómov. Podľa štúdií uvedených v našom prehľade predstavuje ddPCR sľubný nástroj pri vytváraní genetického profilu pacientov s onkologickým ochorením. Optimalizácia a presná validácia môžu preto umožniť postupnú implementáciu ddPCR do klinickej praxe v oblasti onkológie.
