Abstract
Liquid biopsy is a new diagnostic tool in precision oncology that can be used as a complementary or alternative method to surgical biopsies. It is a cutting-edge sampling technique that examines distinct cancer components, such as exosomes and circulating tumor cells discharged into the peripheral circulation, to identify tumor biomarkers through various methods, including polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Liquid biopsy has several benefits, including its non-invasiveness and practicality, which permit serial sampling and long-term monitoring of dynamic tumor changes. Ovarian cancer (OC), the most lethal gynecologic malignancy in the world, is typically diagnosed at stages II and III, which makes recovery and treatment extremely difficult. Relapsed OC and chemotherapy resistance of ovarian tumor cells are other clinical challenges. Although liquid biopsy is not a routinely used diagnostic test, it should be utilized in the diagnosis and prognosis of OC for early detection and treatment.It is less intrusive than conventional tissue biopsies, allowing for the continuous collection of serial blood samples to track cancer development in real time. Before therapeutic application, more investigation is required to pinpoint the particular release processes, the source tissue, and the biological significance of the bulk of liquid biopsy contents.
