Figure 2 Body fluids as a source of tumour-derived molecular information Figure 2 | Body fluids as a source of tumour-derived molecular information. Schematic representation of different body fluids (other than blood) that can contain tumour-derived molecular information, specifically, urine, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), saliva, and pleural effusions. The localization of the primary tumour and of any metastatic lesions influences the presence of circulating tumour-derived nucleic acids, cells, and microvesicles in individual body fluids. As indicated, point mutations, gene fusions, and methylation changes associated with the cancer can be detected through analysis of DNA or mRNA derived from these blood-borne tumour materials. CTCs, circulating tumour cells; ctDNA, circulating cell-free tumour DNA; miRNA, microRNA. Siravegna, G. et al. (2017) Integrating liquid biopsies into the management of cancer Nat. Rev. Clin.
