Secondary expansion and/or evolution of aggressive subclones are associated with the disease progression and resistance to chemotherapy in neuroblastoma, and it is important to track the clonal changes during the treatment period. Cell-free (cf) DNA analysis, namely liquid biopsy, can detect the genomic change of tumor cells without surgical procedures. In this report, we showed that serial polymerase chain reaction-based cf DNA neuroblastoma proto-oncogene quantification is sensitive enough to evaluate the aggressive cellular characteristics of ALK/MYCN-coamplified neuroblastoma and stressed the promise of cf DNA analyses as a reliable molecular marker in advanced neuroblastoma.
