Clinical applications of circulating tumor DNA for non-Hodgkin lymphoma
| Pretreatment | Receiving treatment | End-of-treatment | After treatment | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ctDNA of VDJ sequence | Prognostic tool | Quantitate tumor kinetics Early treatment failure Response-adapted therapy |
Molecular remission Maintenance therapy decisions |
Early recurrence detection Clonal evolution |
| Tumor genotypic ctDNA | Prognostic tool | Quantitate tumor kinetics | Molecular remission | Early recurrence detection |
| Initial therapy choice | Early treatment failure Early resistance mechanisms Response-adapted therapy |
Maintenance therapy decisions | Clonal evolution Late resistance mechanisms Select next therapy |
