Excited to share our @eClinicalMed viewpoint on the evolving role of #ctDNA in GI cancers!

We discuss how ctDNA is evolving from a prognostic biomarker to a predictive tool through prospective ctDNA-guided trials, with the future integrating serial monitoring, multi-omics, imaging, clinical data, and AI to advance precision oncology. Grateful to all my co-authors for this collaboration.
