The identification of new molecular targets and biomarkers associated with high risk of recurrence and response to therapy represents one of the main clinical challenges in the management of advanced disease in endometrial cancer. In this sense, the field of liquid biopsy has emerged as a great revolution in oncology and is considered “the way” to reach personalised medicine. In this review, we discuss the promising but already relatively limited advances of liquid biopsy in endometrial cancer compared to other types of tumours like breast, colorectal or prostate cancer. We present recent data analysing circulating tumour material in minimally-invasive blood samples, but also in alternative forms of liquid biopsy like uterine aspirates. Proteomic and genomic studies focused on liquid-based uterine samples are resulting not only in optimal diagnostic tools but also in reliable approaches to address tumour heterogeneity. Likewise, circulating tumour cells (CTCs) and circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) represent an opportunity for the correct stratification of patients, for the assessment of early recurrent disease or for the real-time monitoring of therapy responses. Appropriately designed studies and implementation in clinical trials will determine the value of liquid biopsy for precision oncology in endometrial cancer.

Cancer is linked with mutated genes, and the study of tumor-associated genetic alterations is gradually used for diagnostic and treatment purposes. The solid tumors are now obtained from biopsy and/or surgical or biopsy specimens. Tumor cells release circulating free DNA into the blood, but the majority of circulating DNA are often not of cancerous origin, and the detection of cancer-associated alleles in the blood has long been unbearable to achieve. Modern science has overwhelmed these restrictions, making it possible to identify both genetic and epigenetic aberrations. A liquid biopsy (LB) or blood sample can provide the genetic landscape of all cancerous lesions (primary and metastases) as well as offering the opportunity to systematically track genomic evolution. This communication will explore how LB is associated with personalized oncology to predict response to treatments and the development of acquired resistance.

EGFR-Tyrosinkinase-Inhibitoren (EGFR-TKI) haben zu einem Paradigmenwechsel in der Behandlungsstrategie für nicht-kleinzellige Bronchialkarzinome (NSCLC) geführt und gehören inzwischen zum Standard. Dabei ist es auch wichtig, primäre und erworbene Resistenzen zu überwinden. Eine aktuelle Studie mit 116 Patienten ergab unterschiedliche Resistenz-Mechanismen für TKI der 1./2. und der 3. Generation. Die Liquid Biopsy ist nach Ansicht der Autoren eine Option für ein nicht-invasives Monitoring der molekularen Veränderungen unter der EGFR-Therapie. Ein Review beschäftigte sich mit den Resistenzmechanismen und der Liquid Biopsy als Instrument für die Therapieplanung und -monitoring.
