The field of blood-based diagnostics is rapidly evolving demonstrating the possibility of real-time molecular analysis of cancer cells and their phenotype and genotype. Circulating Tumor Cell (CTCs) have demonstrated prognostic and predictive value in advanced cancer and represents a source of tumor cells for transcriptome and genomic analysis. Most recently, the detection of genomic abnormalities in the peripheral blood by sensitive and selective PCR methods (liquid biopsy) opened to the option of a comprehensive blood-based tumor analysis. Similar information can be obtained by analysis of exosome, a natural packaging and messaging system being explored in advanced malignancies. The final frontier is the evaluation of immune cells determinant of innate and adaptive immunity. 410 0$aCancer Drug Discovery and Development,$x2196-9906 606 $aCancer research 606 $aCancer Research$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B11001 615 0$aCancer research. 615 14$aCancer Research. 676 $a616.075705 702 $aCristofanilli$b Massimo$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254481203321 996 $aLiquid Biopsies in Solid Tumors$91759301 997 $aUNINA
