How is the role of liquid biopsy changing biomarker testing in solid tumours? Which biomarkers can be tested and when should it be optimally used?

In this clinical topic newsletter, you’ll hear pathologist Assoc. Prof. Umberto Malapelle share his insights into:
- Exactly how the role of liquid biopsy is evolving in precision oncology
- The clinical application of liquid biopsies across the cancer patient journey
- How this applies to non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), breast cancer, and colorectal cancer.

Clinical takeaways from the video include:
- Liquid biopsies offer a less invasive alternative to traditional tissue biopsies in patients with solid tumours, to examine molecular features
- The role of liquid biopsy should be seen as a complementary testing method to tissue-based assays and the information derived should be reviewed in combination with tissue results
- The clinical application of liquid biopsies ranges from screening and diagnosis, treatment guidance, monitoring minimal residual disease to assessing chemotherapy resistance.
