Liquid biopsy approaches are relatively well developed for cancer therapy monitoring and disease relapse, but they also have incredible potential in the cancer early detection and screening field. There are, however, several challenges to overcome before this potential can be met. Research in this area needs to be cohesive and, as a driver of research, Cancer Research UK is in an ideal position to enable this.
液体活检方法在癌症治疗监测和疾病复发方面已经相对成熟,但它们在癌症早期检测和筛查领域也具有巨大的潜力。然而,在实现这一潜力之前,还有一些挑战需要克服。这一领域的研究需要具有凝聚力,而英国癌症研究中心作为研究的推动者,非常适合推动这一领域的研究。
