Research advances in circulating free DNA in liver cancer and liver-related parasitic diseases / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

Liquid biopsy is a new noninvasive detection method and is also the main molecular detection method to guide the application of precision medicine. Liquid biopsy mainly includes the measurement of circulating free DNA (cf-DNA), circulating tumor cells, and exosomes, and in particular, cf-DNA is becoming a valuable molecular detection tool, especially in the early detection and diagnosis of liver cancer and parasitic infections involving the liver. This article reviews the clinical application of cf-DNA in liver cancer and liver-related parasitic diseases.
