Advances in liquid biopsy approaches for early detection and monitoring of cancer
Abstract
Progress in sensitive analytical approaches has opened new avenues for the detection of cells or products such as circulating cell-free DNA released by tumors. These 'liquid biopsies' are being explored in clinical trials for early cancer detection, prediction of recurrent disease, and assessment of therapeutic resistance mechanisms.
Keywords: Biomarker; Circulating tumor cells; Early detection; Liquid biopsy; Minimal residual disease; ctDNA.
