Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The article offers an extensive survey of the progressions, problems, and future trends of liquid biopsies in the early discovery and surveillance of cancer. Liquid biopsies can detect signals associated with cancer by looking at biological fluids like cerebrospinal fluid, blood, or urine, making them a less invasive alternative to traditional tissue biopsies.
