Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are cancer cells that circulate in the blood stream after being
naturally shed from original or metastatic tumors, and can lead to a new fatal metastasis …

Purpose To update the recommendations for the use of tumor marker tests in the prevention,
screening, treatment, and surveillance of breast cancer. Methods For the 2007 update, an …

Detection of circulating tumor cells has emerged as a promising minimally invasive
diagnostic and prognostic tool for patients with metastatic cancers. We report a novel three …

This paper presents development of a parylene membrane microfilter device for single stage
capture and electrolysis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in human blood, and the potential …

This work reports on a passive double spiral microfluidic device allowing rapid and label-
free tumor cell separation and enrichment from diluted peripheral whole blood, by exploiting …

Metastasis is the main cause of tumor-related death, and the dispersal of tumor cells through
the circulatory system is a critical step in the metastatic process. Early detection and analysis …

Cancer remains the leading cause of death worldwide despite the enormous efforts that are
made in the development of cancer biology and anticancer therapeutic treatment …

One of the most promising developments in translational cancer medicine has been the
