A blood test detects lymphoma left behind better than a scan does, and no trial has yet used it to change anyone's treatment.
The practical barriers are assay standardisation and turnaround. Commercial implementations differ in sensitivity and in which mutations they track, and a result that arrives after the next cycle has started cannot direct anything. The scientific barrier is that detecting residual disease is not the same as knowing what to do about it: HD16 showed that a negative interim scan does not mean radiotherapy is unnecessary, and a negative molecular test may turn out to mean the same thing.

Radiotherapy cannot be omitted in early-stage favourable Hodgkin lymphoma on the basis of a negative interim scan without a clinically relevant loss of tumour control. The scan is better at identifying who needs more than at identifying who needs less.

The paper that established lymphoma as the solid-tumour field where circulating tumour DNA works best, because the mutations are many and the tumour sheds. It underpins the response-adapted trial designs now being built on molecular rather than radiographic response.
