Circulating tumor (ct) DNA is a powerful tool that can be used to track cancer beyond a single snapshot in space and time. It has potential applications in detecting minimal residual disease and predicting relapse, in selecting patients for tailored treatments, and in revealing mechanisms of response or resistance. Here, we discuss the incorporation of ctDNA into clinical trials.
循环肿瘤 DNA 是一种强大的工具,可以用于在时空之外跟踪癌症。它在检测微小残留疾病和预测复发、选择患者进行针对性治疗以及揭示反应或耐药机制方面具有潜在的应用。在这里,我们讨论了将 ctDNA 纳入临床试验。
