With the advent of molecular technologies, including digital PCR and massively parallel sequencing(MPS), ctDNA analysis has shown promise as a highly sensitive and specific alternative to conventional tissue biopsy in cancer detection, longitudinal monitoring, and precision therapy. This review provides an overview of the latest development in our understanding of the biologic characteristics, detection methodologies, and potential clinical implications of ctDNA, as well as the challenges in translating ctDNA analysis from the research arena to patient care.展开更多
