The Importance of ctDNA-MRD and CGP in Precision Oncology ​

In this data-rich presentation, Prof. Nick Pavlakis delivered a comprehensive overview of ctDNA-MRD, highlighting clinical trial evidence, standardized assay requirements, and the latest trends in regulatory guidance and global adoption. ​

To support clinical integration, he referenced practical frameworks from the Japan Society of Clinical Oncology(JSCO) and the NCCN. These include scenario-based recommendations such as using MRD testing forrecurrence risk assessment and surveillance after curative-intent resection, considering adjuvant therapy in MRD-positive postoperative patients based on tumor type, and applying MRD analysis following non-surgical curative treatments to guide monitoring for disease progression.​

Through these shared insights, Prof. Pavlakis encouraged thoughtful reflection on how ctDNA-MRD—and tumor-informed assay can contribute meaningfully to the ongoing advancement of precision oncology inclinical practice.​
