Core Tip Molecular profiling of biliary tract cancers has significantly transformed the management of these diseases by paving the way for a broader range of therapeutic options, leading to improved survival outcomes. Given the scarcity of tissue, circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has emerged as a promising non-invasive biomarker for genomic profiling, with high concordance with genomic alterations identified in tissue, particularly in therapy-naïve and metastasis-derived samples. Furthermore, ctDNA has a strong prognostic association and is an effective strategy for monitoring patients during systemic treatment.
