Liquid biopsy for colorectal cancer could guide therapy for tumors

Caption

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have developed a liquid biopsy -- examining blood or urine -- that could help guide treatment for colorectal cancer patients. Nadja Pejovic, a visiting medical student and co-first author of a study on the liquid biopsy, works with a sample in the lab of Aadel Chaudhuri, MD, the study's senior author.
