The three main branches liquid biopsy evolved from the primary detection targets—CTC, ctDNA, EVs—each with distinct benefits. CTCs are derived cancer original or metastases may display global features tumor. ctDNA has been extensively analyzed used to aid diagnosis, treatment, prognosis neoplastic diseases. EVs contain tumor-derived material such DNA, RNA, proteins, lipids, sugar structures, metabolites. provide different contents but strong complementarity a certain extent. Even though they already employed several clinical trials, utility is still being studied, promising initial findings.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remains a formidable diagnostic challenge, especially in the context of small renal masses. The quest for non-invasive screening tools and biomarkers has steered research towards liquid biopsy, focusing on microRNAs (miRNAs), exosomes, circulating tumor cells (CTCs). MiRNAs, non-coding RNAs, exhibit notable dysregulation RCC, offering promising avenues diagnosis prognosis. Studies underscore their potential across various biofluids, including plasma, serum, urine, RCC detection subtype characterization. Encouraging miRNA signatures show correlations with overall survival, indicative future relevance management. Exosomes, diverse molecular cargo, miRNAs, emerge as enticing biomarkers, while CTCs, emanating from primary tumors into bloodstream, provide valuable insights cancer progression. Despite these advancements, clinical translation necessitates further validation standardization, encompassing larger-scale studies robust evidence generation. Currently lacking approved assays cancer, applications biopsy follow-up care, treatment selection, outcome prediction patients are profound.

Prostate cancer (PCa) incidence is increasing and endangers men's lives. Early detection of PCa could improve overall survival (OS) by preventing metastasis. The prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test a popular screening method. Several advisory groups, however, warn against using the PSA due to its high false positive rate, unsupported outcome, limited benefit. number disease-related biopsies performed annually far outweighs diagnoses. Thus, there an urgent need develop accurate diagnostic biomarkers detect distinguish between aggressive indolent cancers.
