Liquid biopsy

Liquid biopsy is the molecular examination of nucleic acids, subcellular structures, particularly exosomes, and, in the case of cancer, circulating tumour cells in bodily fluids. Liquid biopsy has been the subject of intense research over the last ten years in order to develop a less intrusive and more precise individualised therapy. Tissue biopsy can be supplemented or even replaced by a molecular analysis of these circulating biomarkers. Liquid biopsy has been used in clinical practise as a result of this research, particularly in oncology, prenatal screening, and transplantation. Liquid biopsy is a ground-breaking procedure that is providing previously unimaginable insights. With advances in technology and lower costs, liquid biopsy may be able to supplement medical imaging for cancer detection and staging. For cancer patients undergoing local-regional therapy, radiologists may be able to use liquid biopsy techniques to help with treatment selection and post-procedural management.
