Oncology Peer Review On-The-Go: Minimal Residual Disease–Directed Adjuvant Therapy for Patients With Early-Stage Colon Cancer

Podcast

Lead author Ibrahim Halil Sahin, MD, spoke with CancerNetwork® about his work investigating postoperative circulating tumor DNA dynamics in early-stage colon cancer as part of the CIRCULATE-US trial published in the journal ONCOLOGY®.

Ibrahim Halil Sahin, MD, a medical oncologist specializing in gastrointestinal oncology and an assistant professor at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Hillman Cancer Center, spoke with CancerNetwork® about his manuscript titled Minimal Residual Disease–Directed Adjuvant Therapy for Patients With Early-Stage Colon Cancer: CIRCULATE-US, which was recently published in the journal ONCOLOGY®.

In the article, Sahin and his colleagues explored postoperative circulating tumor DNA dynamics in early-stage colon cancer and investigated escalation and de-escalation approaches using ctDNA status as a surrogate for minimal residual disease status.
