Decoding Cancer Signals Using Liquid Biopsy

Dear Colleagues,

Liquid biopsy is revolutionizing oncology practice as a minimally invasive and easily repeatable way to detect cancer-associated changes in the genome, transcriptome, epigenome, and proteome. These advancements provide tools to understand cancer biology, inform clinical decisions and monitor treatment responses.

We welcome authors to contribute articles for this Special Issue that highlight the recent and upcoming advancements in the uses of liquid biopsies in oncology treatments and cancer care. Articles may address any single circulating analyte or multi-analyte approach using any biological fluid, such as plasma, serum, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), among others. We will accept both original research papers outlining breakthrough discoveries and review papers outlining current developments in liquid biopsies.
