PRO 04 - Liquid Biopsies in Cancer

01:00pm - 02:00pm PT

MODERATOR(S)

Aadel Chaudhuri, MD, PhD - Mayo Clinic

Abhijit Patel, MD, PhD - Yale University

session DESCRIPTION

Liquid biopsy technologies, particularly circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), are an emerging tool in precision oncology with growing relevance in radiation oncology. This session will focus on the current and near-term clinical applications of ctDNA, including noninvasive tumor genotyping, early cancer detection, and minimal residual disease (MRD) monitoring. Expert physician-scientists will present recent data that highlight the strengths, limitations, and practical considerations for using liquid biopsy in clinical workflows.

learning objectives

  1. • Understand the basics regarding circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and liquid biopsy technologies and applications.
  2. • Understand the utility of ctDNA for noninvasive genotyping, early cancer detection, and minimal residual disease detection and monitoring.
