Key Takeaways
- SLL and ctDNA are effective in detecting MRD in ovarian cancer, surpassing conventional methods like CA 125 and CT scans.
- SLL provides access to MRD tissue, offering insights into chemoresistance and potential therapeutic targets.
- CtDNA is a promising early surrogate endpoint in clinical trials, allowing earlier assessment of treatment efficacy.
- Identifying high-risk patients through these methods enables earlier intervention with innovative and investigational therapies.
