A scoping review of factors influencing the implementation of liquid biopsy for cancer care.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Liquid biopsy (LB) offers a promising, minimally invasive alternative to traditional tissue biopsies in cancer care, enabling real-time monitoring and personalized treatment. Despite its potential, the routine implementation of LB in clinical practice faces significant challenges. This scoping review examines the barriers and facilitators influencing the implementation of liquid biopsies into standard cancer care.

Methods

Four academic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Web of Science) were systematically searched without language restrictions. We included peer-reviewed articles that were published between January 2019 and March 2024 that focused on the implementation of LB in cancer care or described barriers and facilitators to its implementation.
