Circulating plasma nucleic acids, specifically cell-free DNA (cfDNA) or circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), can be analyzed using molecular diagnostic methods to provide a measure of ongoing processes such as tumor growth or response to therapy. Genetic variation in an individual's response to a drug and histocompatibility are static traits and do not change over time.
