Accurate understanding of tumor characteristics

Information at the molecular level helps medical teams gain a deeper understanding of tumor characteristics.

Each patient’s tumor biology and physical condition may be different.

Personalized analysis, through advanced testing technology, provides medical teams with more information,

helping to explore more suitable health management directions and follow-up plans.

Frequently Asked Questions

Liquid biopsy can provide additional biological insights beyond standard cancer treatment. Below are common questions from patients and caregivers to help you understand its clinical use and limitations.

1
Why is liquid biopsy more expensive than a standard blood test?
⌄
Liquid biopsy requires isolating cancer-related biological signals such as circulating tumor cells or tumor DNA from blood and performing high-precision laboratory analysis, which makes it more costly than routine blood tests.
2
Why not start with standard treatment first?
⌄
Standard treatments are generally supported by clinical evidence, but in some cases, additional biological information may help doctors better evaluate the next treatment step.
3
What are the hidden costs of “trial-and-error” treatment?
⌄
Beyond medical costs, this may include time costs, side effects, and reduced quality of life. Multiple ineffective treatments may also increase overall healthcare burden.
4
What is the difference between functional liquid biopsy and genetic testing?
⌄
Genetic testing focuses on DNA mutations in tumors, while functional liquid biopsy evaluates how tumor cells respond to different treatments in a laboratory setting.
5
Can liquid biopsy guarantee treatment effectiveness?
⌄
No. Liquid biopsy only provides biological information. Treatment outcomes still depend on clinical evaluation, imaging, and physician judgment.
6
Which patients may benefit from liquid biopsy?
⌄
Patients with cancer recurrence, multiple treatment options, or limited response to prior therapies may discuss with their doctor whether testing is appropriate.
7
Can liquid biopsy replace traditional cancer tests?
⌄
No. Liquid biopsy is a complementary tool and should be interpreted alongside imaging, pathology, and clinical assessment.
8
Does liquid biopsy require hospitalization?
⌄
Usually not. Most liquid biopsy tests only require a blood sample.
9
How long does it take to get results?
⌄
Depending on the test method, results may take a few days to several weeks.
10
Can liquid biopsy monitor treatment response?
⌄
In some cases, it can track changes in tumor-related biological signals and help assess treatment response.
11
Is liquid biopsy suitable for all cancer types?
⌄
Suitability varies depending on cancer type and should be evaluated by a physician.
12
Are there any risks in the test?
⌄
Since it usually only involves a blood draw, the risk is minimal.
13
Can liquid biopsy replace tissue biopsy?
⌄
In most cases, tissue biopsy remains the primary diagnostic standard. Liquid biopsy is mainly a complementary tool.
14
How does the test help doctors plan treatment?
⌄
By analyzing tumor-related signals, doctors gain additional biological insights to evaluate potential treatment options.
15
How do I know if this test is right for me?
⌄
It is recommended to consult your healthcare team based on your cancer type, stage, and treatment history.
