Chemotherapy‐associated fold changes in cfDNA concentration and Mean% changes in tumor SUVmax

Patient Baseline cfDNA level (ng/mL) Fold change in cfDNA after 1 Cycle Fold change in cfDNA after 3 Cycles Change in mean tumor SUVmax after 1 Cycle Change in mean tumor SUVmax after 3 Cycles Sites of malignancy identified on FCH PET/CT
1 8 6.6 11.3 −18% −42% S
2 7 21.2 8.5 −48% −66% S
3 19 1.9 0.8 11% −24% S
4 14 1.6 4.7 −9% −24% S, L
5 14 3.3 3.8 −3% −23% S
6 10 1.2 2.3 3% −29% S
7 25 1.0 2.6 2% −7% S, P
8 9 3.0 3.5 −34% −37% L

For malignant sites identified by FCH PET/CT, S = skeletal system, L = lymph nodes, and P = prostate.
