Early Detection, Precision Treatment, Recurrence Monitoring : Liquid Biopsy Transforms Colorectal Cancer Therapy

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant global health concern. We need ways to detect it early and determine the best treatments. One promising method is liquid biopsy, which uses cancer cells and other components in the blood to help diagnose and treat the disease. Liquid biopsies focus on three key elements: circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), circulating microRNA (miRNA), and circulating tumor cells (CTC). By analyzing these elements, we can identify CRC in its early stages, predict how well a treatment will work, and even spot signs of cancer returning. This study investigates the world of liquid biopsy, a rapidly growing field. We want to understand how it can help us better recognize the molecular aspects of cancer, improve and diagnostics, tailor treatments to individual patients, and keep track of the disease over the long-term. We explored specific components of liquid biopsy, like extracellular vesicles and cell-free DNA, and how they are used to detect CRC. This review sheds light on the current state of knowledge and the many ways a liquid biopsy can be used in treating colorectal cancer. It can transform patient care, disease management, and clinical outcomes by offering non-invasive cancer-targeting solutions.
