In an article, Dr. Hiroki Yukami discusses findings from the GALAXY trial presented during the 2024 ASCO Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium. “These results show that ctDNA is a promising prognostic and predictive marker for recurrence.”—Dr. Hiroki Yukami
In this Targeted Oncology video, Dr. Yoshiaki Nakamur discusses the utility of tissue-free ctDNA testing to predict recurrence in CRC patients.
In an article, Dr. Jasenka Piljac Zegarac summarizes Dr. Pashtoon M. Kasi and colleagues' findings related to ctDNA testing and well-being in CRC patients, which were presented at the 2024 ASCO Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium. “ctDNA should be viewed as one added (and probably one of the most powerful) tool in the toolbox instead of a standalone variable.”—Dr. Pashtoon M. Kasi

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 [...]
