Circulating Tumor Dna
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a type of DNA that is found in the bloodstream, coming from cancerous cells. It is a reliable way to detect the presence of tumors and monitor their progression over time. The use of ctDNA in diagnosis is becoming increasingly popular due to its advantages over traditional methods of detection, such as biopsies. It is non-invasive, less expensive, and provides a much faster diagnosis than traditional methods. In addition, it is potentially useful in cancer treatment planning, as it can track mutations of the tumor and give insight into the efficacy of different treatment options. By leveraging this technology, doctors and researchers can develop more targeted treatments and optimize them accordingly.
