Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly aggressive and lethal primary brain cancer that necessitates early detection accurate diagnosis for effective treatment improved patient outcomes. Traditional diagnostic methods, such as imaging techniques tissue biopsies, have limitations in providing real-time information distinguishing treatment-related changes from tumor progression. Liquid used to analyze biomarkers body fluids, offer non-invasive dynamic approach detecting monitoring GBM. This article provides an overview of GBM including circulating cells (CTCs), cell-free DNA (cfDNA), RNA (cfRNA), microRNA (miRNA), extracellular vesicles. It explores the clinical utility these detection, monitoring, prognosis. Challenges implementing liquid biopsy strategies practice are also discussed. The highlights potential biopsies valuable tools personalized management but underscores need standardized protocols further research optimize their utility.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most prevalent and aggressive primary central nervous system (CNS) tumor in adults. GBMs exhibit genetic epigenetic heterogeneity, posing difficulties surveillance being associated with high rates of recurrence mortality. Nevertheless, due to infiltrating ability glioblastoma cells, regardless considerable progress made radiotherapeutic, chemotherapeutic, surgical protocols, treatment GBM still inefficient. Conventional diagnostic approaches, such as neuroimaging techniques tissue biopsies, which are invasive maneuvers, present certain challenges limitations providing real-time information, incapable differentiating pseudo-progression related from real progression. Liquid biopsy, analysis biomarkers nucleic acids (DNA/RNA), circulating cells (CTCs), extracellular vesicles (EVs), or tumor-educated platelets (TEPs) that body fluids, provides a minimally dynamic method diagnosis continuous monitoring for GBM. It represents new preferred approach enables superior manner obtain data on possible risk, prognosis, assessment.

CircRNAs play multiple roles in a variety of cellular processes. We found that Circ-CDYL is highly enriched early HCC plasma exosomes. Moreover, EpCAM+ cells and exosomes had significant levels. postulated Circ-CDYL-enriched EpCAM-positive would function as liver tumor-initiating (LTi-Exos). As predicted, intercellular transfer LTi-Exos activates the HDGF-PI3K-AKT-mTOR HIF1AN-NOTCH2 axes recipient cells, promoting malignancy. Upstream, we N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification exerted its action through dual mechanism. First, it stimulated back-splicing processes via YTHDC1 to promote biogenesis. Second, facilitates active sorting into hnRNPA2/B1. Clinically, combination alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) provides promising diagnostic biomarker for with an AUC 0.896.

Brain tumors have a poor prognosis. Early, accurate diagnosis and treatment are crucial. Although brain surgical biopsy can provide an diagnosis, it is highly invasive risky not suitable for follow-up examination. Blood-based liquid biopsies low detection rate of tumor biomarkers limited evaluation ability due to the existence blood-brain barrier (BBB). The BBB composed capillary endothelial cells through tight junctions, which prevents release markers human peripheral circulation, making more difficult diagnose, predict prognosis, evaluate therapeutic response than other tumors. Focused ultrasound (FUS)-enabled (sonobiopsy) emerging technique using FUS promote into circulatory system cerebrospinal fluid, thus facilitating detection. feasibility safety data from both animal models clinical trials support sonobiopsy as great potential in diseases.
