Liquid biopsy and molecularly driven therapies for colorectal cancer: current and future applications in precision oncology

If we were to stop at a first glance, the use of liquid biopsy would be limited in the clinical practice of colorectal cancer to cases where tumour tissue is unavailable or insufficient. In reality, we are at the beginning of a pathway where the true potential of liquid biopsy is developing rapidly in several directions. This is confirmed by the research results of Prof. Andrea Sartore Bianchi - Director of the Division of Clinical Research and Innovation in Medical Oncology at the Grande Ospedale Metropolitano Niguarda in Milan. One of the most promising applications of liquid biopsy is the detection of minimal residual disease, a potentially game-changing application for oncologists in the field of colorectal cancer, that guides the choice of the most appropriate treatment for patients. Find out how liquid biopsy is absolutely the new goal of precision oncology, capable of technologically and culturally revolutionising clinical practice, in this TJ Talks podcast, hosted by Prof. Giancarlo Pruneri.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
