Cancer Network posts 12-episode series titled "The Future of Decision-Making in Colorectal Cancer: ctDNA's Emerging Role" in which expert panelists discuss management of colorectal cancer using minimal residual disease (MRD) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) testing and clinical trial outcomes.

Giulia Maddalena, a clinical oncologist by education and research trainee at MD Anderson Cancer Center, discusses how medical literature defines MRD and shares your survey results regarding what is your preferred definition. In cancer research, the importance of MRD has been growing, extending its relevance from hematologic malignancies to solid tumors. However, it stands for different definitions according to the specific context: Minimal Residual Disease, Molecular Residual Disease, or Measurable Residual Disease. This variability in terminology reflects the evolving nature of cancer diagnostics and treatment monitoring. Given the importance of clarity in medical terminology, we conducted a literature [...]
