Abstract

Purpose of Review

Liquid biopsies are easily obtainable, non-invasive, longitudinal snapshots that can be used to measure micrometastatic disease burden, monitor disease progression, and provide genomic assessments of primary tumor/metastatic lesions. To date, most published studies have focused on circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cell-free circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA); however, the liquid biopsy field is expanding exponentially and new blood components are currently under investigation.

Recent Findings

CTCs and ctDNA remain the most extensively studied liquid biopsy components to date. Several additional blood-based components are the basis of active, ongoing investigations. Some on the horizon include serum/plasma exosomes, platelet-mRNA, miRNA characterization, and global proteomic studies.

Summary

In the era of individualized medicine, liquid biopsy has potential to improve upon current breast cancer management by offering dynamic monitoring possibilities as well as novel targets for therapy.

Das Risiko für Rezidiv oder Tod von Patienten und Patientinnen mit reseziertem ALK-positivem NSCLC ist unter einer adjuvanten Therapie mit dem Tyrosinkinase-Inhibitor Alectinib signifikant geringer als unter platinbasierter Chemotherapie.

Bei Senioren mit Prostatakarzinom auf Anämie achten!

24.04.2024 DGIM 2024 Nachrichten

Patienten, die zur Behandlung ihres Prostatakarzinoms eine Androgendeprivationstherapie erhalten, entwickeln nicht selten eine Anämie. Wer ältere Patienten internistisch mitbetreut, sollte auf diese Nebenwirkung achten.

ICI-Therapie in der Schwangerschaft wird gut toleriert

Müssen sich Schwangere einer Krebstherapie unterziehen, rufen Immuncheckpointinhibitoren offenbar nicht mehr unerwünschte Wirkungen hervor als andere Mittel gegen Krebs.
