Helen Rizos, PhD, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia, shares her opinion on the unique advantages liquid biomarkers hold over traditional tissue biopsies in melanoma diagnosis and treatment. Prof. Rizos highlights the minimally invasive opportunity the liquid biopsy offers to analyze tumor load as well as it’s capacity to longitudinally measure the response of patients to treatment. Furthermore, liquid biopsies also allow healthcare professionals to detect tumors earlier than other traditional imaging modalities. This interview took place at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2023 Annual Congress in Chicago, IL.
