VJVirtual | Advantages of liquid biopsy for patients

Michael Hubank, PhD, The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK, discusses the benefits of liquid biopsy for patients. Advances in this field mean that roughly 60-75% of liquid biopsies give a reliable diagnosis, without the need for further tissue biopsy. The main advantages are that liquid biopsies are often faster, cheaper, and less invasive than tissue biopsies, which makes them a more attractive option for patients and care providers alike.
