We evaluated the relapse-free survival (RFS) by ctDNA positivity. The sensitivity of ctDNA in detecting a confirmed recurrence of BTC, defined as a biopsy-proven or true progression by radiographic tumor dynamics, was evaluated. The lead time was calculated from the first ctDNA detection to the confirmed recurrence.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>\n              A total of 56 patients with curatively resected stage I-III BTC were included in this study, with a median follow-up of 12.8 months from the date of surgery. ctDNA detection during the molecular residual disease window period (median RFS, 6.6 months\n              <jats:italic>v<\/jats:italic>\n              not reached; hazard ratio [HR], 26 [95% CI, 2.6 to 265];\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              &lt; .0001) and during the surveillance period (median RFS, 19.3 months\n              <jats:italic>v<\/jats:italic>\n              not reached; HR, 20 [95% CI, 2.6 to 153];\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              &lt; .0001) were associated with poorer RFS. Sixteen patients had confirmed recurrence. ctDNA identified recurrence in 93.8.% (15\/16) of the recurred patients with an average lead time of 3.7 months.
