Applications of ctDNA testing to monitor and detect residual disease in breast cancer.
Introduction: In recent years, circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has emerged as a promising method for detection of minimal or molecular residual disease (MRD) among patients with breast cancer.
Areas covered: In this narrative review, we provide a summary of currently available studies assessing use of ctDNA in detection of MRD in patients after completion of curative therapy. Additionally, we discuss limitations of present studies, future considerations, and an overview of ongoing trials evaluating the clinical utility of MRD-directed therapy interventions.
Expert opinion: While the clinical utility of MRD-directed therapy guidance remains under investigation, collective data from studies overwhelmingly confirm the prognostic value of ctDNA status across various stages and subtypes of breast cancer. Results from ongoing clinical trials in the coming years will provide more clarity on the overall clinical benefit of MRD-directed interventions for breast cancer patients.
期刊介绍:
Expert Review of Molecular Diagnostics (ISSN 1473-7159) publishes expert reviews of the latest advancements in the field of molecular diagnostics including the detection and monitoring of the molecular causes of disease that are being translated into groundbreaking diagnostic and prognostic technologies to be used in the clinical diagnostic setting.
Each issue of Expert Review of Molecular Diagnostics contains leading reviews on current and emerging topics relating to molecular diagnostics, subject to a rigorous peer review process; editorials discussing contentious issues in the field; diagnostic profiles featuring independent, expert evaluations of diagnostic tests; meeting reports of recent molecular diagnostics conferences and key paper evaluations featuring assessments of significant, recently published articles from specialists in molecular diagnostic therapy.
Expert Review of Molecular Diagnostics provides the forum for reporting the critical advances being made in this ever-expanding field, as well as the major challenges ahead in their clinical implementation. The journal delivers this information in concise, at-a-glance article formats: invaluable to a time-constrained community.
