The Role of Liquid Biopsy in Precision Medicine: Transforming Cancer Diagnostics in the Medical Laboratory Industry

Liquid biopsies are increasingly used for cancer molecular profiling that enables a precision oncology approach. Around now, liquid biopsies encompass several components such as circulating tumor cells, circulating tumor DNA, exosomes, microRNA, circulating RNA, tumor platelets, and tumor endothelial cells. In addition, advances in the identification of liquid biopsy indicators have significantly enhanced the possibility of utilizing liquid biopsies in clinical settings because compared with tissue biopsy, liquid biopsy has many advantages in the diagnosis and treatment of various types of cancer, including non-invasive, quickly and so on.
