Implication

Review highlights the clinical utility of circulating tumor DNA profiling in B-cell lymphoma, indicating its potential to guide personalized therapy and monitor minimal residual disease.

Key Points

  • To review technological developments, clinical utilities, and translational research opportunities for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) profiling in B-cell lymphoma management.
  • Synthesized pre-analytical considerations, assay methodologies, error-suppression approaches, and sensitivity enhancements for ctDNA genotyping.
  • Evaluated clinical evidence regarding ctDNA utility for disease classification, monitoring treatment response, assessing tumor burden, and detecting measurable residual disease.
  • ctDNA assessment captures comprehensive mutational heterogeneity across multiple anatomical tumor sites, overcoming the spatial sampling limitations of traditional single-site biopsies.
  • Serial blood profiling facilitates real-time quantification of dynamic tumor burden, robust outcome prediction, and early detection of measurable residual disease before radiographic recurrence.
  • ctDNA holds utility as an emerging surrogate endpoint in clinical trials and a biomarker tool to steer risk-adapted, personalized treatment protocols.
