Survival benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy based on molecular residual disease detection in resected colorectal liver metastases: subgroup analysis from CIRCULATE-Japan GALAXY

The prognostic role of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)-based molecular residual disease (MRD) detection and its utility for postsurgical risk stratification has been reported in colorectal cancer. In this study, we explored the use of ctDNA-based MRD detection in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CLM), for whom the survival benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) after surgical resection remains unclear.
