ctDNA dynamics and correlation with treatment response
(A and B) The Kaplan-Meier curves of (A) PFS and (B) OS of patients stratified by change of ctDNA (T1-T2 mVAF decline vs. non-decline).
(C) Treatment response of patients stratified by change of ctDNA (T1-T2 mVAF decline vs. non-decline).
(D and E) The Kaplan-Meier curves of (D) PFS and (E) OS of patients stratified by decline of ctDNA (T1-T2 mVAF > 50% vs. < 50%).
(F) Treatment response of patients stratified by decline of ctDNA (T1-T2 mVAF > 50% vs. < 50%).
(G and H) Clinical outcome (G) and postoperation pathological stage (H) of the patients stratified by decline of ctDNA (T1-T2 mVAF > 50% vs. < 50%).
ctDNA, circulating tumor DNA; T1, baseline; T2, two cycles after therapy; mVAF, maximal somatic variant allelic frequency; PR, partial response; SD, stable disease; MPR, major pathological response.
