Abstract “Liquid biopsy” focusing on the analysis of circulating tumor cells (CTC) and
circulating cell-free tumor DNA (ctDNA) in the blood of patients with cancer has received …

The bone marrow has been long known to host a unique environment amenable to
colonization by metastasizing tumor cells. Yet, the underlying molecular interactions within …

Purpose: Current staging methods for squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) of the oral cavity
(OSCC) need to be improved to predict the risk of individual patients. Because …

Besides circulating tumor cells, disseminated tumor cells (DTCs) in bone marrow (BM) might
be used as a 'liquid biopsy'to obtain information helpful to steer therapies in individual …

Objective: We evaluated the prognostic significance of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in
patients with esophageal cancer (EC). Background: Despite the availability of several …

Many solid cancers metastasize to the bone and bone marrow (BM). This process may occur
even before the diagnosis of primary tumors, as evidenced by the discovery of disseminated …

Skeletal metastases are severe complications in the course of cancer, and they indicate a
worse prognosis. The use of modern imaging techniques allows rapid diagnosis of bone …

Accumulating evidence indicates that cancer cells spread much earlier than was previously
believed. Recent technological advances have greatly improved the detection methods of …

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are cancer cells discovered in cancer patients' peripheral
blood that successfully escape from the primary tumor site and/or metastases, struggle to …

Liquid biopsy is a relatively new entity. This non‐invasive technique provides real‐time
information about a tumour. The liquid biopsy contains circulating tumour cells, cell‐free …
