N2 - Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer type worldwide, with over 1.9 million new cases and 935,000 related deaths in 2020. Within the next decade, the incidence of CRC is estimated to increase by 60% and the mortality by 80%. One of the underlying causes of poor prognosis is late detection, with 60 to 70% of the diagnoses occurring at advanced stages. Circulating cell-free DNA (ccfDNA) is probably the most promising tool for screening, diagnosis, prediction of therapeutic response, and prognosis. More specifically, the analysis of the tumor fraction within the ccfDNA (circulating tumor DNA, ctDNA) has great potential to improve the management of CRC. The present review provides an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of the various aspects related to ctDNA detection in CRC.
