Figure 1. Patient and variant categories. (A) Patient categories. Fully shared: patient having all the variants (1&2) detected in both the solid and liquid biopsies; partially shared: patient having different variants detected in the solid and/or liquid biopsies (4&5), and some variants that are shared (3); only in solid: patient having variants (6&7) only detected in the solid biopsy; only in liquid: patient having variants (8&9) detected only in the liquid biopsy; (B) Variant categories. Shared: variants that are detected in both the solid and liquid biopsy. These variants can be from "fully shared" patients or common variants from "partially shared" patients; solid: variants that are detected only in the solid biopsy. These can be from "only solid" patients or variants present only in tissue biopsy in "partially shared" patients; liquid: variants that are detected only in the liquid biopsy. These can be from "only liquid" patients or variants present only in blood in "partially shared" patients
