Liquid biopsy is minimally invasive diagnostic procedure alternative to surgical biopsies. Liquid biopsy helps in collection of a wide range of information about a cancer/tumor through a simple blood sample. The procedure can help in exact detection of mutations in epidermal growth factor receptors in cancers such Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NSCLC). Furthermore, identification of traces of the cancer’s DNA in the blood could help in administration of precision treatments that could increase the ... Read more
Liquid biopsy allows the detection of various cancer types through a simple blood draw. It identifies and evaluates fragments of DNA released by tumor cells into the bloodstream. These DNA fragments provide insights about any genetic mutations occurring in the tumor. Liquid biopsy provides a simple and non-invasive alternative to surgical tumor biopsies. It assists physicians in screening, diagnosing, and monitoring cancer without requiring invasive procedures.
