The Utility of Liquid Biopsy in Oncology Clinical Trials

XTalks

Such information can reveal details about tumor staging, tumor progression, heterogeneity, gene mutations and clonal evolution. Dr. Bahassi explained that technological advances in genetic sequencing of cfDNA have enabled liquid biopsies and led to marked increase in the detection of therapeutically-targetable mutations.
