Abstract
Similar to many other cancer types, liver malignancies pose the common challenges of late detection of primary tumors and recurrences. Liquid biopsies, which assess the presence of circulating tumor DNA, have emerged as a novel, non-invasive clinical tool for diagnostic and surveillance purposes. This review represents an introductory and comprehensive overview of the current circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) literature relevant to primary and secondary liver malignancies. Herein, we highlight key findings, landmark discoveries, challenges, and future directions.
