Imagine a future where you go in for your annual check-up and get a blood test to screen for cancer, in the same way you currently get screened for high cholesterol or diabetes. Some hope that liquid biopsy technology could eventually make this possible — but it has a long way to go before it gets to that point. Laborastories host Dr. Anthony Killeen sits down with Dr. Christina Lockwood for a realistic outlook on this exciting technology and an overview of the challenges that must be overcome before it's put into routine use. With special guest: Dr. Christina Lockwood Hosted by: Dr. Anthony Killeen
