This “Liquid Biopsy for Cancer Diagnostics - Competitive Landscape and Pipeline Analysis, 2022,” report provides an understanding of the current competition, pipeline products, and changing market dynamics of the Liquid Biopsy for Cancer Diagnostics market in the 7 major pharmaceutical markets. The report also gives a brief competitive analysis of both the current and emerging products, to help understand the competition in the market.

Liquid Biopsy for Cancer Diagnostics Understanding


Liquid Biopsy: Overview
Liquid biopsy is a revolutionary technique that consists of the detection and isolation of circulating tumor cells (CTCs), circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and exosomes, as a source of genomic and proteomic information in patients with cancer. The major advantages of liquid biopsy in cancer diagnosis is that the technique is minimally-invasive, painless, does not have risk of complications, and gives faster results as compared to tumor biopsies. Some disadvantages and limitations of liquid biopsy include its lower accuracy and sensitivity as compared to tumor biopsies, and a lack of standardized protocols for isolation of components from the blood for mutation analysis.

Why use Liquid Biopsy instead of Tissue Biopsy?
  • Minimal invasiveness
  • No pain
  • No risk of complications
  • More compatibility with Longitudinal monitoring

  • CTCs
  • Major Players in Liquid Biopsy Market
There are approx. 20+ key companies which are developing the products for liquid biopsy products.
  • Liquid Biopsy Cancer Test: GRAIL Inc.
Grail is developing multi-cancer early detection liquid biopsy test or blood test which can detect up to 50 types of cancer and is committed to is committed to develop a deep understanding of cancer biology. GRAIL is poised to detect cancer early by combining high-intensity sequencing of unprecedented breadth and depth with the techniques of modern data science. GRAIL is creating vast datasets to develop evidence supporting their products.
  • Parsortix: Angle Plc
ANGLE's Parsortix system has the potential to deliver profound improvements in clinical and health economic outcomes in the treatment and diagnosis of various forms of cancer. Parsortix is different from many of its rivals as, rather than testing for fragments of dead cancer cells, it detects and captures circulating tumour cells (CTCs). CTCs provide the tell-tale signs of cancer and their capture can allow doctors to more accurately assess treatment options. This method is seen as more reliable because other tests have shown that fragments of dead cancer cells are present in around a quarter of people over 65 who do not have cancer. CTCs, on the other hand, give a complete picture because they can only be found in people with cancer.
  • DNA methylation based liquid biopsy test: Exact Sciences
Exact's DNA methylation based liquid biopsy test detects 80% of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases across all stages and 71% of early stage cases. It has shown better performance than the most commonly used marker for HCC, serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP).
