Abstract:
Large B-cell lymphomas (LBCLs) are a strikingly diverse set of diseases, including clinical, biological, and molecular heterogeneity. Despite a wealth of information resolving this heterogeneity in the research setting, applying molecular features routinely in the clinic remains challenging. The advent of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) liquid biopsies promises to unlock additional molecular information in the clinic, including mutational genotyping, molecular classification, and minimal residual disease detection. Here, we examine the technologies, applications, and studies exploring the utility of ctDNA in LBCLs.
