How MRD Testing is Reshaping Breast Cancer Recurrence Monitoring

In this episode of OncoTalks, Dr. Paul Conkling and Dr. Kashif Ali explore how minimal residual disease (MRD) testing using circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is reshaping breast cancer management. They discuss how this innovative approach enables the detection of molecular disease that may persist after treatment — often before clinical or radiographic signs appear. Research shows MRD testing can identify recurrence months earlier than conventional methods, allowing for timely intervention and more informed decision-making. As a result, MRD testing is becoming an increasingly valuable tool in personalized cancer care.
