ASCO GI 2023 | The utility of ctDNA in colorectal cancer management

Arvind Dasari, MD, MS, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX, comments on the uses of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in colorectal cancer in clinical practice. Measuring ctDNA can enhance early detection and enable diagnosis of colorectal cancer, as well as determine the minimal residual disease (MRD) status in patients, as shown in the CIRCULATE-US (NCT04089631) study. Responses to chemotherapy and drug resistance can additionally be assessed. This interview took place at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2023 Gastrointestinal Cancers (GI) Symposium in San Francisco, CA.
