Circulating tumor DNA based minimal residual disease detection and adjuvant treatment decision-making for muscle-invasive bladder cancer guided by modern clinical trials.


ABSTRACT: Up to 430,000 cases of bladder cancer are diagnosed each year worldwide. A proposed method for non-invasive monitoring has been to utilize a "liquid biopsy." Liquid biopsy has been proposed as a non-invasive method of testing biomarkers in bodily fluids in order to detect and survey cancer. The liquid biopsy could be utilized to obtain information regarding circulating tumor cells, circulating cell-free tumor DNA, circulating cell-free tumor RNA, and more. It is currently being investigated to help guide adjuvant therapy and improve oncological outcomes. We highlight an array of exciting past and ongoing clinical trials regarding ctDNA and adjuvant therapy in regard to urothelial carcinoma which we believe to be amongst the leaders in the field.
