Liquid biopsies could be valuable tools to monitor breast cancer progression and evolution. Here, the authors investigate genomic profiling of tissue and liquid biopsies in a large cohort of patients with breast cancer during the course of therapy to characterise tumour evolution and acquired mutations.
