Traditional tissue biopsies are invasive, sometimes infeasible, and provide only a snapshot of a single tumor site. ctDNA analysis offers a dynamic, systemic view of tumor genetics, enabling earlier detection, real-time monitoring of treatment response, and identification of resistance mechanisms, but requires specialized knowledge of preanalytical, analytical, and clinical interpretation challenges.
