- 1Liquid Biopsies Reshape Precision Medicine▼Liquid Biopsies Reshape Precision Medicine: Lori Brisbin, MS, MLS
Lori Brisbin, MS, MLS, discusses how liquid biopsies are changing precision medicine. The blood-based tests, which detect tumor DNA and other biomarkers without invasive procedures, are increasingly used to diagnose cancers, guide treatment choices, and monitor disease. Commentators in managed care circles are weighing the technology's clinical benefits against questions of cost, reimbursement, and broader adoption in routine practice.
- 2AI-powered chip detects tumor cells in blood without labels●Label-free microfluidic chip and AI identify blood-borne tumor cells
Researchers have developed a label-free microfluidic chip paired with artificial intelligence that can identify circulating tumor cells in blood samples. The approach detects cancer cells directly without chemical labels, potentially enabling faster, less invasive cancer diagnostics. The advance is being reported in medical and biotechnology news as a promising step for liquid biopsy and early cancer detection.
