Longitudinal Monitoring of Plasma Circulating Tumour DNA Enables the Prediction of Early Relapse in Patients with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma: A Case Series

Growing evidence now suggests that circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) has great potential as a non-invasive biomarker for disease monitoring, since ctDNA carries tumour-specific modifications. In particular, monitoring ctDNA has important implications for identifying patients with haematological maligna...
