Advances in various technologies have culminated in the development of liquid biopsies. The tumour biomarkers applied for non- or minimally-invasive cancer detection include tumour cells and their components in bodily fluids, especially peripheral blood for circulating tumour biomarkers. The most well-studied circulating tumour biomarkers in recent years for the early detection of cancer are circulating tumour cells (CTCs) and circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA), with research into other classes rapidly expanding. CTCs and ctDNA have been detected at an early stage in several types of cancer with high specificity, aiding risk stratification and, in some cases, identifying clinically actionable molecular features. Therefore, these circulating biomarkers offer several advantages over the traditional cancer detection methods. Although their limitations are considerable, the evolving evidence suggests they have tremendous potential as tools for early cancer detection. In this review, we evaluate the development and applications of circulating biomarkers for early cancer detection, with a focus on CTCs and ctDNA.
