The ctDNA test my oncologist has suggested is called Guardant. Not sure how this compares with Signatera?

@sandy8043 I have been asking my oncologist about the ctDNA and they have yet to test me with it instead wanting to rely on CT scans every three months. Their reason is they don’t know what to do with the information when they get it. Any good arguments I could throw at them? I have stage 4 colon cancer and been on a 6 month break but now they see something in my anal canal and don’t know if it’s cancer or just something left in there. I think the ctDNA would have lent a hand in determining if there was something to worry about. Now I have to wait for a colonoscopy.
