LIQUID BIOPSY

A test done on a blood sample, to look for circulating tumour cells (CTC) or pieces of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) shed by cancer cells in the blood of a patient.

Liquid biopsy is a test done on a blood sample, to look for circulating tumour cells (CTC) or pieces of circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) shed by cancer cells in the blood of a patient. Procedure is rather safe, simple, fast, and cost effective, which only involves the extraction of patients’ blood.

Why is Liquid Biopsy useful?

  1. Liquid biopsy is non-invasive
  2. Representing summation of spatial heterogeneity
  3. It is useful to detect cancer at an early stage
  4. It is also useful in monitoring the responses to treatment and help explain why some cancers are resistant to therapies
  5. It is the best option when tissue biopsy is non-accessible in some advanced cancers
  6. It is able to be repeated serially to monitor molecular changes in tumour
