What's ctDNA testing like for colorectal cancer patients?
Community Member
13 days agoI have colorectal cancer and I'm interested in treatments and clinical trials. I just read about some exciting developments that might help people like us. There's new testing called liquid biopsies (ctDNA tests) that can find cancer cells that regular scans might miss. The article also talks about promising new drugs in clinical trials that could be better than current treatments available in the next few years. I'd love to connect with others who are navigating similar situations and hear about your experiences. • Have any of you had ctDNA testing as part of your care? What was that experience like? • For those following clinical trials or new treatments, how do you stay informed about what's coming next?
