Dublin, Feb. 10, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/kgcw2h/liquid_biopsy) has announced the addition of the "Liquid Biopsy Markets Global Market Size, Strategies and Forecasts 2016 to 2020" report to their offering.

A revolution in cancer diagnostics is occurring using in vitro blood testing to identify cancer DNA. GRAIL, a new company with impressive backing, has announced a single blood test to detect all cancers. The technology is moving faster than the market. New technology that definitively identifies disease conditions from blood samples is poised to replace expensive invasive surgical biopsy procedures. The market is still in its infancy but has outstanding growth potential. The impact on the health care industry is enormous. The report forecasts the market size out to 2020. In addition, the report looks at potential market sizes by country, by cancer and by the three different opportunities: detection, management and screening.

Circulating Tumor Cells? Cell Free DNA? Exosomes? Find out about the technology in readily understood terms that explain the jargon. Find the opportunities and the pitfalls. Understand growth expectations and the ultimate potential market size.

The report includes detailed breakouts for 15 Countries and 4 Regions along with breakouts for Lung, Breast, Colorectal, Prostate and Other Cancers. What is the size of the huge screening opportunity?
