Abstract
This commentary proposes a shift in the current diagnostic workflow for patients with metastatic cancer to incorporate the use of liquid biopsy. This proposal, born in the time of a severe crisis for the health care system, might also be applied when the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) outbreak ends and thereby reduce the turnaround time for results from molecular testing for patients with cancer and increase the number of patients potentially benefiting from highly effective targeted therapies.
