Liquid Biopsy Tests, Multiple Use Cases
Liquid biopsy is expanding across the cancer-care continuum, creating potential applications from early detection through post-treatment monitoring.
Broader than diagnosis: Liquid biopsy is expanding beyond therapy selection into early detection, treatment monitoring and post-treatment surveillance, increasing exposure across the patient journey.
Recurring use expands the market: Monitoring and MRD are long-term applications that involve repeated testing during and after treatment, creating more testing occasions per patient.
Early detection is the largest opportunity: MCED represents the largest estimated TAM at roughly $30-50B+, though adoption remains dependent on validation, regulation, guidelines and reimbursement.
Platforms can participate in multiple pools: The same liquid-biopsy capabilities can support multiple clinical endpoints, enabling participation across more than one market opportunity.

All investments carry a certain degree of risk, including the possible loss of principal. Investments are also subject to political, market, currency and regulatory risks or economic developments. International investments involve special risks that may in particular cause a loss in principal, including currency fluctuation, lower liquidity, different accounting methods and economic and political systems, and higher transaction costs. These risks typically are greater in emerging markets. While large-capitalization companies may have more stable prices than smaller, less established companies, they are still subject to equity securities risk. In addition, large-capitalization equity security prices may not rise as much as prices of equity securities of small-capitalization companies. Securities of small- and medium-sized companies tend to have a shorter history of operations, be more volatile and less liquid. Value stocks can perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of stocks.
