The Utility of Liquid Biopsy in Oncology Clinical Trials

XTalks

These tumor-derived entities are used to derive genomic and proteomic data. 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. Optimal methods for bioinformatic analysis are still needed.
