Lars Dyrskjøt: Circulating tumour DNA and circulating tumour cells in bladder cancer

Lars Dyrskjøt, Professor at Aarhus University, shared on X:

“Our review “Circulating tumour DNA and circulating tumour cells in bladder cancer — from discovery to clinical implementation” is now out in Nature Reviews Urology

A tour de force by Sia Viborg Lindskrog and Trine Strandgaard – kudos and thanks to all co-authors for your contributions.

In the review, we discuss:

  • The biology and detection of ctDNA and CTCs in bladder cancer

How liquid biopsy enables:

  • Early detection of recurrence
  • Monitoring of treatment response
  • Detection of minimal residual disease (MRD)
  • Personalized adjuvant treatment guidance
  • The pros and cons of tumour-informed vs. tumour-agnostic strategies
  • Insights from pivotal clinical trials (TOMBOLA, IMvigor011, MODERN) and their potential impact
  • The road to clinical implementation: technical, logistical, and regulatory considerations
  • The combined value of ctDNA, utDNA, and CTCs in reshaping the bladder cancer care pathway

Why it matters:

Liquid biopsy is moving from promise to practice — with real potential to personalize and improve bladder cancer treatment.”
