Resumen
The analysis of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) can help to identify genetic alterations present in cancer cells without the need to access tumour tissue, which can be an invasive approach. This study explored the feasibility of analysing ctDNA in patients with advanced well-differentiated neuroendocrine tumours (WdNETs). A total of 45 patients (15 with WdNETs) were included. Although feasible (with a non-evaluable sample rate of 27.8%), mutation-based ctDNA analysis was of limited clinical utility for patients with advanced WdNETs. While patients with WdNETs could still be offered genomic profiling (if available and reimbursed), it is important to manage patients? expectations regarding the likelihood of the results impacting their treatment.
