Abstract:The current limitations of cancer diagnosis and molecular profi ling based on invasive tissue biopsies or clinical imaging have led to the development of the Liquid Biopsy fi eld (LB), includes the isolation of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs), circulating free or tumor DNA (cfDNA or ctDNA), Extracellular Vesicles (EVs), and Tumor-Educated Platelets (TEPs) from body fl uid samples and their molecular characterization to identify biomarkers for early cancer diagnosis, prognosis, therapeutic prediction, and follow… Show more
