This document discusses liquid biopsy, a non-invasive technique to detect tumor biomarkers shed into body fluids like blood. It can identify circulating tumor cells, circulating tumor DNA, exosomes, and newly, tumor educated platelets. Liquid biopsy offers advantages over tissue biopsy like being less invasive, allowing repeated sampling over time. While sensitivity remains a limitation, liquid biopsy shows promise for early cancer detection, monitoring treatment response and tumor evolution, and assessing tumor heterogeneity. The document reviews technologies to analyze various biomarkers and potential clinical applications of liquid biopsy.
