Fig. 1From: Coupled liquid biopsy and bioinformatics for pancreatic cancer early detection and precision prognosticationIntegrated strategies for detection of tumor from liquid biopsies. Various tumor-derived circulating components can be used as a source of liquid biopsies, including circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA), circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), circulating tumor cells (CTCs), circulating tumor RNA (ctRNA), circulating miRNA, tumor-educated platelets (TEPs), extracellular vesicles (EVs), circulating tumor-derived proteins, and circulating metabolites. Each element can extract one or more levels of information about the genome, the transcriptome, the proteome or the metabolome.Back to article page
