About this Research Topic
Liquid biopsy - the molecular analysis of tumor by-products released by a solid tumor into the bloodstream - has emerged as a fantastic source of biomarkers. Those include a variety of cellular components: circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), circulating-free RNA (cfRNA), circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and extracellular vesicles (EVs).Numerous studies illustrated the various potential applications of this technology in the management of cancers, including liver cancer.
This Research Topic aims to provide an updated and thorough overview of liquid biopsy in liver cancer, either with novel data from original studies or with comprehensive reviews.
Manuscripts consisting solely of bioinformatics, computational analysis, or predictions of public databases which are not accompanied by validation (independent cohort or biological validation in vitro or in vivo) will not be accepted in Frontiers in Oncology.
