Alberto Bardelli
Scientific Director, IFOM ETS - The AIRC Institute of Molecular Oncology; Professor, University of Turin · Istituto di Candiolo IRCCS (FPO)
Used ctDNA to show how colorectal cancers evolve resistance to EGFR antibodies and how that resistance can fade.
ctDNA MRD positivity (molecular residual disease after curative treatment)
Genome-wide readout
A ctDNA MRD test looks for the tumour's own mutations in blood after surgery. Detection predicts relapse months before scans, and in 2026 the FDA approved Signatera as the companion test selecting bladder cancer patients for adjuvant atezolizumab.
ctDNA tests roadmap: from a curiosity in plasma to blood tests that decide treatment
Blood carries fragments of tumour DNA. This roadmap follows the tests that read them, from the first sighting in 1948 to blood tests that now choose a drug, spare chemotherapy, or screen for many cancers at once, and it lists the readouts to watch next.
Jeanne Tie
Medical Oncologist, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre; Laboratory Head, Walter and Eliza Hall Institute · Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research
Led DYNAMIC, the first randomised trial to show ctDNA can safely guide who needs chemotherapy after colon cancer surgery.
Nitzan Rosenfeld
Professor of Cancer Genomics, Barts Cancer Institute; former Senior Group Leader, CRUK Cambridge Institute · Barts Cancer Institute / Barts Health NHS Trust
Showed that whole-exome sequencing of blood can track how a cancer evolves, and co-founded Inivata.
Thomas Powles
Professor of Genitourinary Oncology and Director, Barts Cancer Centre, Queen Mary University of London · Barts Cancer Institute / Barts Health NHS Trust
Led EV-302, NIAGARA and IMvigor011, the trials that transformed bladder cancer from chemotherapy-only to ADC, immunotherapy and ctDNA-guided care.
Viktor A. Adalsteinsson
Director, Gerstner Center for Cancer Diagnostics, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard · Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard
Engineer who showed low-pass sequencing of blood can replace tumour biopsies and built ultra-sensitive MRD tests.
