Case Report: The Added Value of Liquid Biopsy in Advanced Colorectal Cancer From Clinical Case Experiences

Liquid biopsy represents a valid strategy for tumor molecular characterization. It gives the opportunity to bypass tumor heterogeneity, to monitor tumor characteristics during the course of treatment, and to perform the analysis even when tumor tissue is not available or inadequate. In the clinical...
