Abstract:
With the concept of "Precision Medicine" in malignant tumors popularized, many substances carrying valuable clinical information have emerged in the process of exploring the occurrence and development of tumors from a microscopic perspective. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is one of them. In various clinical stages of cancer, ctDNA exhibits rich diagnostic values including demonstrating the efficacy of treatment, predicting prognosis, and monitoring disease recurrence. This article mainly describes the application and research progress of ctDNA in different stages of clinical diagnosis and treatment of non-small cell lung cancer . .
