Liquid Biopsies

A liquid biopsy is a minimally invasive test that detects and analyzes tiny fragments of cancer DNA or cells circulating in the blood or other body fluids. Unlike traditional biopsies, which require tissue samples from the tumor, liquid biopsies can provide real-time insights into cancer’s genetic makeup. This helps doctors identify mutations, monitor how the disease responds to treatment, and detect recurrence early. It’s a promising tool for personalized cancer care, offering a safer, faster, and often more comprehensive view of the cancer’s behavior without needing surgery or tissue extraction.
