Abstract: The early detection of some gynecologic malignancies can significantly improve patient’s prognosis. Liquid biopsy is a new technology that use human’s body fluid to detect tumor-relating changes,e.g., tumor cells or tumor DNAs,in order to early detect tumor status and make diagnosis, but this method is immature and still in the pre-clinical experimental stage. We discussed the definition,characteristics,methods and applications and reviewed the meaning of circulating tumor DNA detection and its future prospects.
