We analyzed plasma samples from 39 patients with advanced or recurrent ovarian cancer enrolled in clinical trials for personalized peptide vaccinations. We conducted the present study to investigate the possibility of using the circulating cfDNA integrity as a biomarker of vaccine therapy for patients with ovarian cancer. Frozen plasma samples from 39 patients with advanced or recurrent ovarian cancer who were enrolled in clinical trials of the personalized peptide vaccination during the period from January 2009 to July 2012 were used in this study [6] . We analyzed the circulating cfDNA integrity of 39 patients with advanced or recurrent ovarian cancer who were treated with a personalized peptide vaccination in a clinical trial [6] . ./cache/cord-010784-khvrklqt.txt ./txt/cord-010784-khvrklqt.txt
