Liquid biopsy

Liquid biopsy is an innovative, minimally invasive test that analyzes a small sample of blood to detect cancer and other diseases. Unlike traditional tissue biopsies, which require surgery to obtain a sample, liquid biopsies can be performed with a simple blood draw. This test identifies circulating tumour cells or fragments of tumour DNA in the bloodstream, providing valuable information about the presence and progression of cancer. Liquid biopsies offer several advantages, including reduced risk and discomfort for patients, quicker results, and the ability to monitor treatment effectiveness and detect recurrences in real time. This cutting-edge technology represents a significant advancement in personalized medicine, helping doctors tailor treatments to each patient's unique cancer profile.
