biopsy is at the forefront of the ability to gather diagnostic and prognostic information on tumors, as it can be
noninvasively performed prior or during treatment. Liquid biopsy mostly utilizes circulating tumor cells, or free DNA,
but also exosomes. The latter are nanovesicles secreted by most cell types, found in any body fluid that deliver
