“Our review “Circulating tumour DNA and circulating tumour cells in bladder cancer — from discovery to clinical implementation” is now out in Nature Reviews Urology
A tour de force by Sia Viborg Lindskrog and Trine Strandgaard – kudos and thanks to all co-authors for your contributions.
In the review, we discuss:
- The biology and detection of ctDNA and CTCs in bladder cancer
How liquid biopsy enables:
- Early detection of recurrence
- Monitoring of treatment response
- Detection of minimal residual disease (MRD)
- Personalized adjuvant treatment guidance
- The pros and cons of tumour-informed vs. tumour-agnostic strategies
- Insights from pivotal clinical trials (TOMBOLA, IMvigor011, MODERN) and their potential impact
- The road to clinical implementation: technical, logistical, and regulatory considerations
- The combined value of ctDNA, utDNA, and CTCs in reshaping the bladder cancer care pathway
Why it matters:
Liquid biopsy is moving from promise to practice — with real potential to personalize and improve bladder cancer treatment.”
