ABSTRACT
In the development of cancer, the DNA fragments of tumor cells enter into the blood circulation to form circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), which is an indicator for detecting and quantifying tumor mutations. Epithelial ovarian cancer accounts for most of the histological types in ovarian cancer. This article reviews the clinical application of ctDNA in epithelial ovarian cancer, including the early diagnosis, therapeutic effect evaluation after operation and adjuvant therapy, tumor load assessment, dynamic monitoring during the follow-up and the prognosis of patients.
