Roadmap to Liquid Biopsy Biobanking from Pediatric Cancers-Challenges and Opportunities

Liquid biopsy is rapidly gaining traction for potentially revolutionizing cancer diagnosis and treatment through blood-based utilization of shed biomolecules. This approach can provide a global picture of the cancer in real time, at multiple time points, and with minimal invasiveness. In this review, we familiarize cancer biobanks with the principles used for liquid biopsy work and highlight unique aspects of applying liquid biopsy approaches to pediatric cancers to enable high-quality and efficient translational research.
