Abstract
3518 Background: Studies in multiple tumor types have demonstrated the prognostic impact of ctDNA analysis after curative intent surgery. Emerging data suggest that conversion of ctDNA from detectable to undetectable after adjuvant chemotherapy may reflect treatment efficacy. Further review of existing study data could increase the precision of ctDNA guided adjuvant therapy decision making. Methods: We combined individual patient (pt) data from three independent prospective cohort studies that enrolled 485 pts with stage II or III CRC. Clinicians were blinded to ctDNA results. We evaluated pt outcomes over a 5-year follow-up period (median, 47.2 months). Plasma samples were collected 4 to 1..
