Core Tip	Published studies clearly indicate that cell-free DNA levels and the detection of specific molecular events in the plasma of colorectal cancer patients is a relevant prognostic and predictive biomarker, with clinically meaningful value at various disease settings such as asymptomatic screening, follow-up after curative surgery and metastatic disease. Further randomized studies are needed before these techniques are implemented at the daily practice.
