Liquid biopsies offer a new approach to diagnosing diseases without the need for invasive procedures. Traditionally, biopsies have involved gathering tissue from organs such as the lung or liver. However, advancements now allow for disease detection through DNA present in the bloodstream.
Physician Ash Alizadeh discussed this development with host Russ Altman on Stanford Engineering’s podcast, The Future of Everything. "The DNA is sitting there in the bloodstream," Alizadeh explained, highlighting the potential of liquid biopsies.
