Is #LiquidBiopsy the Future of #Cancer #Diagnostics? 💉🧬🤔

1/n🧵
Standard cancer detection tests are done with #tissuebiopsies.🧫

These are invasive, risky, and expensive as they require an endoscope and open surgery.

An alternative approach to this is Liquid Biopsy which is performed by drawing blood.🩸

2/n
Liquid biopsy is an innovative solution to #cancerdetection.

▪️They use a much smaller sample and have a quicker turnaround for results compared to tissue biopsies.

▪️They are more advantageous in detecting a metastasized tumor - when cancer has spread to multiple sites.

3/n
While liquid biopsies are revolutionizing #oncology, they are not yet ready to entirely replace tissue biopsies:

▪️Early-stage #tumors don’t release much #DNA

▪️Liquid biopsies may not detect all of the #mutations present in any given cancer.
