Erick Saldanha: The role of ctDNA clearance as a biomarker of neoadjuvant immune checkpoint blockade in solid tumours

Erick Saldanha, Medical Oncologist and Postdoctoral Clinical Fellow at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, shared a post on X:

“Thrilled to share our paper, just out in the Annals of Oncology, ESMO.

We assessed the role of ctDNA clearance as a biomarker of neoadjuvant immune checkpoint blockade response for patients with solid tumours. Proud to be part of this effort alongside a brilliant group of colleagues and my dear friend Valenza Carmine.

Check out the article ”

Luís Felipe Leite, Medical Student at Universidade Federal Fluminense, shared Erick Saldanha‘s post on X, adding:

Absence of ctDNA clearance may identify patients unlikely to achieve pCR after neoadjuvant ICIs.

However, limited specificity means current evidence does not support its use to guide treatment de-escalation. Impressive analysis by Dr. Saldanha in the Annals of Oncology.”
