Opportunities & Challenges toward the Clinical Application of ctDNA MRD Testing in Solid Cancers



This webinar is a recorded presentation of a live broadcast and includes a pre-test, the presentation, handout, and a post-test. Continuing education credit is available for the webinar.


This interactive webinar is part 3 of the 8 part Utility of Cell-Free DNA in the Clinic Series.

Description:

This presentation will cover the evidence that circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) minimal residual disease (MRD) can predict the development of cancer relapse in solid tumors and guide treatment personalization. In addition, we will discuss key issues for clinical implementation of ctDNA MRD testing, including the biology of ctDNA release, accounting for technical and biological background, determining the ideal timing of blood draws, and choosing a clinical assay.

Learning Objectives:

    1. Identify challenges, and list possible solutions, unique to cfDNA assay validation.

    2. Discuss opportunities for circulating tumor DNA assessment in oncology practices.

    3. Discuss limitations of ctDNA assessment in oncology practices.
