Figure 1
A simplified concept of the use of liquid biopsy in clinical oncology proposed by von Felden et al. (7). Thanks to innovative laboratory methods and IT technologies, it is possible to accurately and sensitively screen and diagnose liver cancers and assess their progression. Evaluation of EVs in readily available samples of biological material and analysis of results with AI can become part of personalized medicine, and replace the standard solid biopsy. EVs, extracellular vesicles; AI, artificial intelligence.
