Liquid biopsies are a promising tool for detecting lung cancer metastases and recurrence. By analyzing biomarkers in blood or other body fluids, such as circulating tumor cells or tumor-derived DNA/RNA, these tests can accurately and sensitively detect metastases even before they are visible on imaging scans. Liquid biopsies offer a less invasive and more convenient option for patients, particularly those who are not good candidates for traditional tissue biopsies. The development of liquid biopsies holds great promise for improving the detection and treatment of lung cancer.
Liquid biopsies have emerged as a promising tool for the detection of metastases as well as local and regional recurrence in lung cancer. Liquid biopsy tests involve analyzing a patient's blood, urine, or other body fluids for the detection of biomarkers, including circulating tumor cells or tumor-derived DNA/RNA that have been shed into the bloodstream. Studies have shown that liquid biopsies can detect lung cancer metastases with high accuracy and sensitivity, even before they are visible on imaging scans. Such tests are valuable for early intervention and personalized treatment, aiming to improve patient outcomes. Liquid biopsies are also minimally invasive compared to traditional tissue biopsies, which require the removal of a sample of the tumor for further analysis. This makes liquid biopsies a more convenient and less risky option for patients, particularly those who are not good candidates for invasive procedures due to other medical conditions. While liquid biopsies for lung cancer metastases and relapse are still being developed and validated, they hold great promise for improving the detection and treatment of this deadly disease. Herein, we summarize available and novel approaches to liquid biopsy tests for lung cancer metastases and recurrence detection and describe their applications in clinical practice.
