Plasma cell-free DNA analysis has emerged as a powerful liquid biopsy assay to assess circulating tumour DNA in response to cancer treatments. A new study shows that cell-free DNA can also inform on expansion kinetics and tumour-infiltration patterns in patients receiving chimeric antigen receptor T cells and, together with circulating tumour DNA, provides vivid prognostic insights into intratumoural dynamics.
