Liquid Biopsy – Cancer Diagnostics Without Surgery

Gentle. Fast. Informative.

A liquid biopsy only requires a simple blood sample to provide important information about a cancer condition. Without surgery or tissue removal, doctors can “read” the tumor through your blood. The test works by detecting tiny fragments of tumor DNA (so-called ctDNA) that circulate in the bloodstream.

This modern method offers new possibilities:

  •  Choosing the most suitable medication
  •  Monitoring of treatment progress
  • Early detection of cancer recurrence

How Liquid Biopsy Detects Cancer DNA

Tumor cells release small pieces of their genetic material into the bloodstream. These cell-free DNA fragments can be detected and analyzed using modern, highly sensitive lab techniques. This is especially helpful when tumor tissue is not available or does not provide enough information.

What does this mean for you as a patient?

With liquid biopsy, we can monitor your condition regularly — without additional procedures. It is particularly useful during ongoing treatment or follow-up care after successful therapy. The analysis is performed in collaboration with the Munich Biomarker Research Center, TUM Hospital German Heart Center, part of the University Hospital of the Technical University of Munich (TUM). This partnership ensures that your sample is evaluated according to the highest scientific and diagnostic standards.

Your Benefits at a Glance

  • No surgery: Just a quick and simple blood draw
  •  Regular monitoring: Ideal for treatment and aftercare
  • Fast results: Often available within just a few days
  • Early detection: Changes can be identified before symptoms appear
