CTCs, cfDNA, and Exosomes harbor an enormous potential for precision medicine. However, clinical implementation requires standardization. This is in contrast to current praxis, which remains hampered by major inter-study heterogeneity. This talk will address (i) current challenges and solutions for standardized CTC-, cfDNA-, and Exosome- assessment, (ii) how clinical biobanks can support liquid biopsy research and (iii) enable precision medicine locally and internationally.
