Abstract
At a Glance
Tissue biopsies serve a valuable purpose – but they are far from perfect
Liquid biopsy may be a better option, if we can overcome its technical limitations
Ovarian cancer is one disease that can benefit from better biomarkers and better assays
Epigenetic biomarkers, such as methylation, may improve sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of ovarian cancer
