A multicenter cohort study demonstrates that circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is more accurate than Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) antibody testing in detecting recurrence of Merkel cell carcinoma, improving patient surveillance and risk str
The DAPHNe trial demonstrates excellent 5-year outcomes for stage II–III ERBB2-positive breast cancer patients treated with an abbreviated neoadjuvant paclitaxel, trastuzumab, and pertuzumab regimen, with ultrasensitive ctDNA monitoring sho
In the GHSG HD21 trial, a validated ctDNA assay showed that MRD positivity after two treatment cycles strongly predicted inferior progression-free survival and improved early risk stratification, especially when combined with interim PET.
Baseline ctDNA levels predict early progression and poor survival in untreated follicular lymphoma, outperforming traditional risk scores like FLIPI. This study highlights ctDNA’s potential as a stratification tool in clinical trials.
A prospective study demonstrates that tumor-informed ctDNA-based minimal residual disease (MRD) testing significantly predicts recurrence and survival in HPV-independent HNSCC, offering a median five-month lead time over clinical detection
A multi-center study demonstrates that preoperative ctDNA detection significantly outperforms traditional clinical criteria in predicting nodal upstaging and survival outcomes for patients with clinical stage I/II ESCC, potentially redefini
A new study reveals that ‘tumor-informed’ blood tests can detect recurring head and neck cancer months before traditional scans, offering a critical window for intervention in high-risk patients.
Research identifies postoperative lymphatic exudate as a superior source of ctDNA for detecting molecular residual disease in HPV-independent head and neck cancer. This proximal liquid biopsy significantly outperforms plasma in predicting l
This review evaluates the clinical utility of METER, a novel lp-WGBS workflow for ctDNA detection in RAS wild-type mCRC, demonstrating its prognostic value and cost-effectiveness in monitoring treatment response.
The plasmaMATCH trial establishes ctDNA testing as a highly accurate tool for directing targeted therapies in advanced breast cancer. New data reveal that baseline ctDNA levels and early on-treatment dynamics serve as powerful prognostic ma
A post hoc analysis of CALGB (Alliance)/SWOG 80702 shows postoperative ctDNA positivity strongly predicts recurrence and suggests adjuvant celecoxib improves DFS and OS in ctDNA-positive stage III colon cancer.
The randomized phase 2/3 DYNAMIC-III trial shows that postoperative circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) strongly stratifies recurrence risk in stage III colon cancer. ctDNA-guided de-escalation reduced oxaliplatin exposure and hospitalizations wi
The DYNAMIC-III trial validates circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a strong prognostic marker in stage III colon cancer. ctDNA-guided de-escalation reduced oxaliplatin exposure and hospitalizations with near-standard outcomes, but escalation
This review synthesizes pivotal evidence from the IMvigor011 trial demonstrating that ctDNA-guided adjuvant atezolizumab significantly improves disease-free and overall survival in muscle-invasive bladder cancer, enabling risk-adapted immun
Change in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) one month after treatment initiation predicts progression-free and overall survival in patients with dMMR/MSI-H metastatic colorectal cancer receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors, offering a potentia
A secondary analysis of the SAMCO-PRODIGE 54 trial reveals that early changes in circulating tumor DNA predict long-term outcomes in dMMR/MSI-H metastatic colorectal cancer patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors.
