COSMOS-CRC-01: Clinicopathologic Correlation of ctDNA With RFS
Author(s)Yoshiaki Nakamura, MD, PhD
Yoshiaki Nakamura, MD, PhD, discusses how the COSMOS-CRC-01 study demonstrated statistically significant recurrence-free intervals across various postoperative and adjuvant chemotherapy time points, highlighting the prognostic value of serial, tissue-free ctDNA assays for real-time detection of MRD vs single postchemotherapy assessments.
