The discussion around ctDNA assays is compelling, but I’m curious about the disconnect between their high sensitivity/specificity and their failure to improve clinical outcomes. Could the author clarify whether the lack of survival benefit is due to limitations in current intervention strategies post-MRD detection, or are there fundamental challenges in applying lead time information to improve patient outcomes?
