Our Alk+ site, dedicated to informing patients and medics alike of the latest from the world of ALK+ Lung Cancer has just published a new blog. In this latest blog we hear about Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) testing, sometimes known as a ‘liquid biopsy,’ which is a method of detecting fragments of cancer DNA which are released from tumours into a person’s bloodstream. In ctDNA testing, a simple blood sample can be analysed for these pieces of DNA. Advanced sequencing technology is then used to look for genetic alterations in the DNA, including ALK rearrangements, which drive growth in specific cancers. If these features are identified, a patient can be prescribed targeted therapies which are far more effective in treating specific cancers than more standard treatments.
