Introduction to Liquid Biopsies
Pathology Assessment of Tumor Tissue
NIH initiative to ‘rigorously evaluate’ benefits, harms of evolving cancer screening technologies
The prospect of screening for multiple cancer types simultaneously through a blood draw or other simple methods has generated tremendous excitement.
Online information about liquid biopsies has ‘extensive shortcomings’
Online resources about liquid biopsies have several deficits that could prevent patients from learning about the test and better understanding , according to findings published in JAMA Network Open.
AI partners with liquid biopsy for ‘robust’ identification of women with ovarian cancer
An artificial intelligence-driven algorithm used a novel liquid biopsy assay to differentiate women with ovarian cancer from healthy patients, according to results presented at American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting.
New blood test close to ‘cracking the code’ on pancreatic cancer early detection
An investigational exosome-based liquid biopsy showed better than 90% accuracy for detecting early-stage pancreatic cancer among U.S.-based participants in a prospective multicenter study.
Liquid biopsy offers ‘meaningful approach’ to understanding CAR-T
Liquid biopsy could provide enhanced information about chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy compared with normally used DNA, RNA and protein assays, according to findings published in Journal for ImmunoTherapy of Cancer.
Liquid biopsy not cost-effective as alternative to colonoscopy for CRC screening
The cost of liquid biopsy for second-line colorectal cancer screening was not cost-effective and would have to be reduced by 66% to increase uptake among the general population, according to data in JAMA Network Open.
