Oncodetect™ Molecular Residual Disease test
Use
The Oncodetect Molecular Residual Disease (MRD) test is designed to detect subtle signs of residual cancer throughout a patient's care journey. It helps in identifying cancer recurrence and supports personalized treatment options by detecting tumor-specific DNA in the bloodstream, known as circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). The test provides real-time measurement of the disease burden, which aids in making early detection and monitoring possible, thus empowering patients and providers to make informed treatment decisions. This test is particularly beneficial in determining post-surgical cancer presence, assessing recurrence likelihood, and evaluating response to treatment.

Limitations
The performance characteristics of the Oncodetect MRD test have been validated specifically for colorectal cancer patients with stage II-IV disease and may not apply to tumor types not included in its clinical validation. As the test has not been cleared or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, its application in areas outside its validation scope should be carefully considered.
