Circulating Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma associated MYB transcripts enable rapid and sensitive detection of metastatic disease in blood liquid biopsies.

The article discusses a study on detecting metastatic adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) through monitoring tumor-specific MYB expression in blood samples. The researchers developed a qPCR assay for MYB transcripts and found significantly elevated levels in the metastatic ACC cohort. This study suggests a sensitive and minimally invasive diagnostic test that could enhance early detection of metastatic ACC.
