Abstract
- This article explores the potential of plasma extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) as a diagnostic biomarker for distinguishing between benign and malignant thyroid nodules, specifically papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). The study utilizes Circle-seq technology and machine learning to analyze eccDNA profiles in plasma samples from healthy controls, nodular thyroid goitre patients, and PTC patients. The results show significant differences in eccDNA counts and genomic characteristics between the groups, suggesting the potential of eccDNA as a non-invasive biomarker for diagnosing thyroid cancer. However, the study acknowledges the limitation of a small sample size and the need for further research to validate the findings. [Extracted from the article]
