Core Tip	Tumor liquid biopsy based on cell-free DNA detection has become a major hotspot in the field of tumor research in recent years. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) is a DNA fragment that breaks down from cells in primary tumors or even new tumors formed by metastasis, and enters the peripheral circulation. ctDNA analysis provides a non-invasive method for cancer detection and monitoring, which is important for the management of clinical patients.
