Promising utility of using serial ctDNA in metastatic colorectal cancer to both refine patient selection, reduce toxicity due to chemotherapy, and to evaluate emerging resistance mechanisms may lead the way to novel therapeutic strategies. However, important questions remain in validating its use as a predictive biomarker of treatment response. See related article by Vidal et al., p. 379.
在转移性结直肠癌中使用连续 ctDNA 来改善患者选择、减少化疗毒性以及评估新出现的耐药机制具有很大的应用潜力,可能为新的治疗策略铺平道路。然而,在验证其作为治疗反应预测生物标志物的用途方面仍存在一些重要问题。详见 Vidal 等人的相关文章,第 379 页。
