ctDNA Testing Opens Avenues for the Future of Breast Oncology: With Jason Mouabbi, MD

In today’s episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Jason Mouabbi, MD, about the role of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) testing in early-stage breast cancer management. Dr Mouabbi is an assistant professor in the Department of Breast Medical Oncology in the Division of Cancer Medicine at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.

In our exclusive interview, Dr Mouabbi highlighted the ways that ctDNA has evolved from a research tool to a potential clinical decision-making aid in breast cancer, data suggesting that ctDNA negativity after neoadjuvant therapy can be more predictive of long-term outcomes than pathologic complete response, and the importance of offering ctDNA testing to patients and discussing the benefits of this emerging approach.
