International Society of Liquid Biopsy (ISLB) perspective on minimal requirements for ctDNA testing in solid tumors

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) testing has transformed precision oncology by enabling the non-invasive detection of actionable mutations. To facilitate broader clinical adoption and improve testing acc...

Very honored of this important recognition in my born country. Blessed to share this special moment with my family, friends and great colleagues from Argentina 🇦🇷 looking forward to continue working with @UBAonline from OSU @OhioStateMedOnc ! Thanks to all my team @rolfolab.bsky.social

5/5
Both TBx & LBx are suitable & complementary for METex14 skipping detection.
✅LBx Pros: Minimally invasive, rapid, feasible for ill patients/inaccessible tumors, boosts enrollment
❌ LBx Cons: Can have lower sensitivity (false negatives) with low ctDNA shedding

RolfoLab @rolfolab.bsky.social · May 5

4/5
Further analysis: Among TBx-positive patients with matched LBx results, those who were LBx-negative showed trends for longer DOR, PFS, and OS compared to those who were also LBx-positive. (Fig3)

RolfoLab @rolfolab.bsky.social · May 5

3/5
Why the difference in time-dependent outcomes? LBx-positive patients had:
➡️ Higher baseline radiographic tumor burden
➡️ More extensive disease
➡️ Worse baseline health-related quality of life & symptoms.

RolfoLab @rolfolab.bsky.social · May 5

While ORRs were similar (TBx-pos 54.3% vs. LBx-pos 51.7%), time-dependent outcomes trended shorter in LBx-positive patients. 📉 mPFS: 13.7 mo (TBx) vs. 8.9 mo (LBx). 📉 Median OS: 22.9 mo (TBx) vs. 17.6 mo (LBx)

RolfoLab @rolfolab.bsky.social · May 5

New research from the #VISION trial of #tepotinib in #NSCLC with #METex14 skipping highlights key differences when patients are identified by LBxvs TBx.
➡️ #Tepotinib showed robust efficacy regardless of biopsy type

Navigating the future of #LiquidBiopsy with @christianrolfo.bsky.social at #poles25
From screening to resistance tracking—MRD is reshaping how we detect, treat, and monitor cancer.
Tissue vs liquid? It’s not a battle—it’s a partnership.
