Abstract: Liquid biopsy is revolutionizing the way we detect and monitor diseases - especially cancer - by offering a simple, minimally-invasive alternative to traditional tissue biopsies. By analyzing fragments of DNA, RNA, or cells shed into the bloodstream, this cutting-edge technique enables earlier diagnosis, personalized treatment decisions, and real-time tracking of disease progression. Its potential to transform patient care is immense, making it one of the most exciting frontiers in modern medicine. This seminar will focus on the latest developments of liquid biopsy in the field of cancer research and its applications in oncology.
