## Abstract Tumor cells are characterized by specific genetic alterations. When such genetic alterations are identified in body fluid including plasma, regardless of the presence of detectable tumor cells, it shows the existence of freeโcirculating tumorโassociated DNA. The objective of our study w
## Background: Transforming growth factor-beta1 (tgf-beta1) acts as a potent inhibitor of cell growth and tumor progression but loss of this negative regulation can contribute to tumor development. some studies have reported an association between disease progression and tgf-beta1 expression in pat
