Liquid biopsy in cancer refers to isolation and analysis of tumour-derived materials such as DNA, RNA, intact cancer cells and extracellular vesicles in bodily fluids such as blood, urine, saliva, and stools. It has the potential to be used for early detection of cancer, diagnosis, prognostication, prediction of response to treatment and surveillance in cancer survivors. This editorial discusses the role of liquid biopsy in cancer diagnosis and screening.
