• A minimally invasive test performed on a blood sample to identify tumor cancer cells or DNA
from tumor cells that are circulating in the blood.
• It can be useful for diagnosing early stage cancer and for
planning treatment according to the type of tumor,
determining its effectiveness and detecting relapse.

• It is a simple procedure, which avoids disruption to the

• The challenges include finding out which types of tumors

benefit most from its use and how often the tests should be
performed.
