Liquid Biopsy Market: Strategic Insights

Liquid Biopsy Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rising preference for minimally invasive cancer diagnostics to Favor Market   

There is a growing preference for minimally or noninvasive tests among patients for diagnostic purposes. Early cancer detection, tumor monitoring throughout treatment, recurrence monitoring, and mutation detection are possible using liquid biopsy, which uses a noninvasive method. Patients tend to prefer minimally invasive procedures as they involve the use of advanced instruments that allow for more intricate work to be performed with less pain, lower risk, and minimal scarring. In recent times, there has been considerable interest in circulating tumor cell diagnostics and liquid biopsy as a non-invasive substitute for tissue biopsy in cancer patients. The adoption of liquid biopsy will be facilitated by advancements in minimally invasive cancer detection technologies. The market growth will be influenced by increasing demand for non-invasive diagnostic tools and laboratory acceptance of CTCs tests and liquid biopsy.  

A liquid biopsy is a simple and non-invasive alternative to surgical biopsies that enables medical professionals to gather various information about tumors from a blood sample. Blood tests are painless, non-invasive, and bear no risks, which significantly cuts down the cost and time to diagnose a problem. Moreover, CTCs, exosomes, cfDNAs, and microvesicles can be detected in a blood sample, making blood-based liquid biopsies more popular. Therefore, the rising demand for minimally invasive diagnostic tests is driving the market growth.       

Increasing Liquid Biopsy Due to Growing Application and Advancements – An Opportunity  

According to the College of American Pathologists, ctDNA testing is likely to expand in clinical care. Due to continued research on circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)/RNA, CTCs, and extracellular vesicles, the images of tumor status with increased resolution can be obtained through liquid biopsies. The uses of liquid biopsy range from monitoring cancer growth to detecting genetic mutations, identifying signs of relapse, and predicting sensitivity to immunotherapy.  The advantages of liquid biopsies and technological improvements will continue to expand their applicability and utility in monitoring patients for relapse and determining the best treatments. The growing applications are likely to offer significant opportunity for the growth of the market.
