It is still unclear whether cell-free DNA (cfDNA) can replace solid-tissue biopsy. A 59-year-old man developed castration-resistant prostate cancer with a liver metastasis. We performed a liver biopsy and collected a cfDNA sample. Although he underwent radiofrequency ablation, tumors recurred and he was transferred to another hospital. We performed next-generation sequencing using DNA from the biopsy tissue and cfDNA. BRCA2 p.T3033fs and AURKA F31I were detected in both the biopsy tissue and the cfDNA. cfDNA may be useful as a liquid biopsy for monitoring the gene profile of aggressive prostate cancer.
