Chinese Medical Journal Review highlights stable CircRNAs as non‑invasive biomarkers for cancer detection and therapy

Circulating circRNAs show high cell-type and tissue specificity, making them ideal for non-invasive cancer management. They can be detected in multiple body fluids and reflect treatment response, positioning them as functional drivers of therapy resistance.
