Blood tests can now find leftover cancer months before scans, but most patients who test positive have nothing to enrol in. One standing trial per country would fix that.
MRD-guided intervention has proved feasible in bladder cancer and colorectal cancer, but each trial rebuilds the same infrastructure: assay contracts, testing schedules, referral pathways and consent. A standing national platform (one master protocol, shared control arm, rolling arms contributed by any sponsor, registry-based follow-up) converts a scattered set of underpowered studies into a permanent engine for the MRD setting.
