Tumor-educated blood platelets (TEPs) are implicated as central players in the systemic and local responses to tumor growth, thereby altering their RNA profile. In this presentation, we will discuss the potential use of TEPs for pan-cancer, multiclass cancer, and companion diagnostics, enabling clinical advances in blood-based "liquid biopsies".
