Advantages of Liquid Biopsy compared to Bone Marrow Biopsy
Pain free | Non-Invasive | Easily Obtained | Fast | Risk free | Accurate | Comprehensive Genomic Profile | Low Cost
Liquid biopsy has the advantages of non-invasive, rapid, precise, and especially real-time. Liquid biopsies utilize genetic sequencing for many purposes in oncology. They can be uniquely used as a screening tool for early detection either by testing the entire sample for mutations, or looking for specific mutations in the sample.
The emergence of non-invasive diagnostic techniques for tumors, such as liquid biopsy, marks a major step forward for humans on the road to conquering tumors. From the 2016 Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of the first liquid biopsy products based on EGFR gene mutations, by August 2018, tumor mutation burden in blood (bTMB) was confirmed to predict the effectiveness of immunotherapy, and liquid biopsy has already made a big splash in the field of cancer treatment.It can also overcome the heterogeneity of tumors and may replace tissue biopsy in the future. Liquid biopsy has broad application prospects in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, including early diagnosis screening, tumor heterogeneity, drug resistance, and establishment of targets.
Involves Pain | Invasive | Localized Sampling of Tissue | Not Easily Obtained | Time consuming | Some Risk Involved | Expensive
Bone marrow biopsies require solid matter from the body. This specimen is removed from bone marrow. An anesthetic may be used: local to numb area of extraction for pain, or general to make the patient unconscious. Technique involve needles and other endoscopic tools. Specimen extraction from the body require surgical methods. As a result, side effects can include risk of infection, internal bleeding, or prolonged recovery time.
Bone marrow biopsies ant Tumor biopsies used to be irreplaceable in identifying the nature of tumors: type of cancer, gene expression of the tumor, and presence of treatment-resistant mutations. However, that is affected by several components of origin, such as tumor location, tissue amount available, and accessibility for surgical removal. The instable nature of tumors makes them heterogeneous, which means tissue from a certain area of the tumor may have radically different mutations and genetic expressions than other areas. This provides inaccurate information.
Palmetto covers two genomic tests from GTC
Genomic Testing Cooperative (GTC) Receives Medicare (Palmetto GBA) Coverage for two NGS Hematology Molecular Profiling Tests Including Liquid Biopsy for Hematologic Neoplasms.
The Medicare Administrative Contractor Palmetto GBA (MolDx®) has finalized its review and has established coverage for two Genomic Testing Cooperative (GTC) hematology profiles:
- GTC-Hematology (
284302 gene DNA profiling) and - GTC-Hematology Plus (
284302 gene DNA and1501>1600 gene RNA/cfRNA profiling).
The two Comprehensive Genomic Profile (CGP) tests are designed to help Pathologists and Hematologists/Oncologists in establishing the precise diagnosis, prognosis and determine therapy in hematologic neoplasms.
The GTC Hematology test (284 302 gene DNA Profile) can be performed on cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from peripheral blood samples representing the first Palmetto GBA covered liquid biopsy for hematology. A liquid biopsy for suspected hematologic neoplasms or monitoring patients with hematologic neoplasms can be highly useful and practical as a replacement to the painful bone marrow biopsy, which can be a deterrent for some patients.

NGS is Enabling Medical Breakthroughs
Next generation sequencing has changed medicine in the past decade in ways most people couldn’t imagine. It has allowed a rapid evolution to the field of precision medicine with new drugs with being approved regularly. However, it has previously been cost prohibitive with many insurance companies not covering testing. The data sets it produced were also hard to interpret and understand due to their size, complexity and lack of historical data.
We have now reached a time where we can utilize genomic testing in a cost-effective matter. The tools are now available to make sense of the complex data. There is a large database of samples to look at and compare. In essence, we are at the tipping point of a deep understanding of cancer which we have never had before in human history and are making therapies that have the potential to cure the disease.
