About

Liquid biopsy is an emerging technique revolutionizing cancer diagnostics by providing a non-invasive method for detecting and analyzing circulating biomarkers such as circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and circulating nucleic acids (cfDNA, ctDNA). This program offers an in-depth exploration of the principles behind liquid biopsy, including the various technologies used for biomarker isolation, quantification, and analysis. Participants will also explore the clinical relevance of liquid biopsy in cancer detection, treatment monitoring, and personalized medicine.
The program combines theoretical knowledge with practical skills, providing participants with hands-on experience in liquid biopsy technologies, from sample collection and processing to data analysis. The course also covers the regulatory and ethical considerations necessary for implementing liquid biopsy in clinical practice, offering a comprehensive view of how circulating biomarker analysis can significantly impact cancer treatment and patient outcomes.

Aim

The program aims to equip participants with advanced knowledge in liquid biopsy techniques and circulating biomarker analysis for non-invasive cancer detection and monitoring. The course focuses on the identification, isolation, and characterization of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and circulating nucleic acids (cfDNA, ctDNA) for early diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic monitoring.
