Liquid Biopsies: Applications for Cancer Diagnosis and Monitoring

Ivana Martins et al.

Summary: Liquid biopsies are a revolutionary approach for cancer management as they can provide a more comprehensive characterization of tumor profiles through the detection of circulating tumor-derived components in biofluids. They have the potential to assist in diagnosis, prognosis, treatment selection, as well as monitoring disease evolution and treatment response in real-time. Despite their value in oncology, some limitations still need to be addressed for their routine clinical implementation.

A comprehensive characterization of the cell-free transcriptome reveals tissue- and subtype-specific biomarkers for cancer detection

Matthew H. Larson et al.

Summary: Cell-free RNA is a promising analyte for cancer detection, with the potential to identify tissue- and subtype-specific biomarkers in breast and lung cancer patients. The presence of dark channel biomarker (DCB) genes in cfRNA from individuals with cancer suggests they could enhance cancer detection in patients with low levels of circulating tumor DNA.

The Translational Status of Cancer Liquid Biopsies

Sinisa Bratulic et al.

Summary: Precision oncology aims to tailor clinical decisions to individual patients by accurately characterizing tumors using omics information. Liquid biopsies, as non-invasive alternatives to traditional tissue biopsies, can provide multiple layers of tumor-specific biological information, leading to discovery of new diagnostic markers with the help of statistical and machine learning approaches. This rapidly advancing field of cancer biomarker research faces both successes and challenges.
