| Popis: | The current constraints associated with cancer diagnosis and molecular profiling, which rely on invasive tissue biopsies or clinical imaging, have spurred the emergence of the liquid biopsy field. Liquid biopsy involves the extraction of circulating tumor cells (CTCs), circulating free or circulating tumor DNA (cfDNA or ctDNA), circulating cell-free RNA (cfRNA), extracellular vesicles (EVs), and tumor-educated platelets (TEPs) from bodily fluid samples. Subsequently, these components undergo molecular characterization to identify biomarkers that are critical for early cancer detection, prognosis, therapeutic assessment, and post-treatment monitoring. These innovative biosources exhibit characteristics analogous to those of the primary tumor from which they originate or interact. This review comprehensively explores the diverse technologies and methodologies employed for processing these biosources, along with their principal clinical applications. |
