Abstract:Precision medicine is poised to have an impact on cancer management by guiding treatment decisions based on molecular landscapes of tumours. Normally, the molecular profile of a tumour is established from a surgically-obtained biopsy tissue sample. As tumours are highly heterogeneous and dynamic, tissue-based molecular profiling is subject to temporal and/or spatial sampling bias. Additionally, biopsies from some tumour sites remain difficult, which could result in an inadequate amount of tissue for subsequent… Show more
