Circulating Tumour Cells (CTCs) can be released from the primary tumour into the
bloodstream and may colonize distant organs giving rise to metastasis. The presence of …

The enumeration of circulating tumor cells has long been regarded as an attractive
diagnostic tool, as circulating tumor cells are thought to reflect aggressiveness of the tumor …

Over the past decade, technically reliable circulating tumor cell (CTC) detection methods
allowed the collection of large datasets of CTC counts in cancer patients. These data can be …

The vast majority of cancer-related death is due to the metastatic spread of the primary
tumour. Circulating tumour cells (CTC) are essential for establishing metastasis and their …

During the past ten years, circulating tumour cells (CTCs) have received enormous attention
as new biomarkers and the subject of basic research. Although CTCs are already used in …

Abstract Blood testing using Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) has emerged as one of the
hottest fields in cancer diagnosis. Research on CTCs present nowadays a challenge, as …

The presence of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in peripheral blood can serve as a “liquid
biopsy” approach and has thus emerged lately as one of the hottest fields in cancer …

Abstract Background Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have long been considered a reflection
of tumor aggressiveness. Hematogenous spreading of CTCs from a primary tumor is a …

Localized and metastatic cancers give rise to circulating tumor cells (CTCs) which are
detectable in the bloodstream. Recent studies have highlighted the prognostic significance …

Abstract Detection of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) in peripheral blood can serve as a
“liquid biopsy” approach and as a source of valuable tumor markers. CTCs are rare, and …
