摘要:
恶性原发性骨肿瘤好发于儿童及青少年,恶性程度高、预后差,传统组织活检存在有创性、空间异质性、无法动态监测等诸多局限性。循环肿瘤DNA作为液体活检的核心标志物,携带肿瘤特异性基因组与表观遗传学异常,为骨肿瘤的精准诊疗提供了全新方向。本文就循环肿瘤DNA在恶性原发性骨肿瘤中的生物学基础、检测技术规范、临床应用现状、多模态联合检测策略及现存挑战与未来发展方向进行系统综述,旨在为其临床转化与常规应用提供理论依据与实践参考。

图1 恶性原发性骨肿瘤中ctDNA释放的生物学机制示意图 注:恶性原发性骨肿瘤中,循环肿瘤 DNA(ctDNA)主要通过 3 种途径释放至外周血:①肿瘤细胞凋亡/坏死直接释放ctDNA片段;②外泌体主动分泌携带 ctDNA;③CTC裂解释放 ctDNA。酸性微环境(pH 6.4±0.2)、高通透性血管(VEGFA↑)及骨皮质剪切力介导的机械应力,可分别促进上述ctDNA释放过程,最终导致ctDNA进入体循环。
