Cancer Diagnostics – Highlights

Article

Circulating Tumor Cells: Detection and Applications

In this article we explore circulating tumor cells (CTCs) asking what they are, why they are so valuable and how they are being used in modern oncology.

Article

Liquid Biopsy: Guide, Applications and Techniques

Liquid biopsies are tests conducted on blood samples that examine biomarkers shed by tumors, such as cancer cells or pieces of tumor DNA. The data from liquid biopsies can be used in place of or alongside that of traditional surgical biopsies. In this article, we review the theory behind liquid biopsies and their applications in cancer medicine.
