Liquid biopsy is a rapid plasma genotyping technique, which provides overview of karyotypic abnormalities in the circulating tumor cells present in the blood sample. The solid-tissue biopsies are used in cancer diagnostics; however, the liquid biopsy technique is rapidly gaining momentum due to its minimal invasiveness. The liquid biopsy field is a result of years of research for identification of cancer biomarkers, and many of its highly promising detection subjects, such as extracellular vesicles, are yet to be fully developed for their commercial applications
