Peripheral blood of cancer patients “physiologically” presents cells and cellular components
deriving from primary or metastatic sites, including circulating tumor cells (CTCs), circulating …

Diagnosing and screening for tumors through noninvasive means represent an important
paradigm shift in precision medicine. In contrast to tissue biopsy, detection of circulating …

Whether circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can be used as an indicator of treatment response in
breast cancer (BC) needs to be clarified. We addressed this issue by a meta-analysis …

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic impact of circulating tumor cells (CTC)
detected in patients with operable or locally advanced breast cancer before and after …

BACKGROUND Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are thought to be an ideal surrogate marker
to monitor disease progression in metastatic breast cancer (MBC). We investigated the …

The focus of the study was to implement a new workflow for circulating tumor cells (CTCs)
characterization that would allow the analysis of CTCs on a cytomorphological and …

Cells, which detach from a primary epithelial tumour and migrate through lymphatic vessels
and blood stream are called 'circulating tumour cells'. These cells are considered to be the …

There is increasing interest in gene expression analysis of either single cells or limited
numbers of cells. One such application is the analysis of harvested circulating tumour cells …

Background: Isolation and genotyping of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is gaining an
increasing interest by clinical researchers in oncology not only for investigative purposes …

Background: Detection of circulating tumor cells (CTC) in patients with castration-resistant
prostate cancer (CRPC) may improve the estimate of chemotherapy response. We …
