Purpose: Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in plasma has been identified in many cancers, including retinoblastoma at diagnosis.

Background: Cell-free DNA analysis in cancer has gone from research to widespread clinical use in the past 10 years. At Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, we developed a technology and test to assay cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from blood (plasma) in our retinoblastoma patients.

Results: cfDNA derived from intraocular retinoblastoma can be measured and quantified in the blood (plasma) of patients.
