Blood of cancer patients contains different types of cancer-derived materials that are susceptible to detailed analysis of tumor disease: intact circulating tumor cells (CTCs), cell-free circulating tumor DNA, tumor educated platelets and extracellular vesicles. Different techniques can isolate those biomarkers and are used as diagnostic and monitoring tools for cancer treatment. These blood-based tests (also called liquid biopsy) are a sensitive and less invasive alternative or complementary approach to tissue biopsies…
