Genetic- based tests and liquid biopsies are well-known novel diagnostic techniques especially in breast and lung cancers. Targeted therapies, immune checkpoint inhibitors, invasive treatment modalities, and radioligand therapies are well-known advances in the treatment of cancer. These novel modalities in treatment are dependent on specific conditions especially mutations and receptor status in different cancer types.
