Abstract
None:
Wang and colleagues showed that ctDNA can be detected in plasma up to 3 years prior to clinical diagnosis. The study highlights the need for ultrasensitive and multimodal approaches that integrate the detection of mutations and copy-number changes with advanced computational platforms to deliver effective early-detection strategies. See related article by Wang et al., p. 1794.
