摘要

Squamous transformation of prostate adenocarcinoma is a rare resistance mechanism in patients with advanced prostate cancer that impacts both prognosis and treatment. Herein, we profile circulating chromatin in serial plasma samples collected from a patient with metastatic prostate cancer that experienced squamous transformation. We detect dynamic changes in gene regulation from circulating chromatin reflecting the emergence of squamous differentiation, enabling non-invasive diagnosis and monitoring of this resistance phenotype, with potential therapeutic implications.
