Liquid Biopsy Using Cell-Free or Circulating Tumor DNA in the Management of Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Xueying Lyu et al.

Summary: Liver cancer is a fatal cancer that is often detected at an advanced stage. Liquid biopsy, a noninvasive detection method, can detect the presence of liver cancer by analyzing plasma ctDNA. Consistency between plasma ctDNA and tumor tissue genomic DNA mutational profile is crucial in the clinical management of liver cancer. Utilizing genetic information from plasma ctDNA profiling and standardizing clinical practice can lead to more efficient detection, better treatment guidance, and reliable disease monitoring.

The Future of ctDNA-Defined Minimal Residual Disease: Personalizing Adjuvant Therapy in Colorectal Cancer

Alisha Bent et al.

Summary: Our understanding of using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in colorectal cancer (CRC) for diagnosis and prognosis has significantly improved in recent years. CtDNA is currently being used to detect minimal residual disease throughout the cancer care process. The presence of ctDNA in stage I to III CRC patients can predict radiographic recurrence up to 9 months in advance, providing a therapeutic window for high-risk patients. Ongoing clinical trials are investigating whether ctDNA can be used as an essential biomarker to stratify the risk of CRC patients and guide adjuvant treatment decisions.
