- Abstract:
The article discusses how the liquid biopsy medical innovation could potentially be used to examine the genetic aspects of tumor cells from blood samples, and it mentions the detection of cancer biomarkers in blood and the treatment of solid tumors. Circulating cell-free tumor DNA (ctDNA) and circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are addressed, along with the prognosis and treatment response in metastatic cancers. The noninvasive nature of a liquid biopsy procedure is assessed.
