BACKGROUND. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have been shown to aid in the therapeutic
management of patients. But, only a few attempts have been made at the detection of …

What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? Circulating tumour cells (CTC)
have prognostic relevance for patients with different metastatic carcinomas. Detection of …

Background Approximately 50% of patients with metastatic urothelial cancer (UC) respond
to chemotherapy and several months of therapy is required to assess for radiographic …

OBJECTIVE: To examine the incidence and prognostic value of circulating tumor cells
(CTCs) in urothelial cancer (UC). The detection of CTCs is prognostic in several cancer …

The methods employed for the detection of circulating bladder cancer cells (CBCs) and their
use as a molecular staging tool in clinical settings are thoroughly reviewed. CBC isolation …

Method: We include patients diagnosed with 3 types of urothelial tumours (prostate cancer,
urinary bladder cancer, and kidney cancer). A size-based separation method for viable CTC …

Purpose: We explored the diagnostic use of circulating tumor cells in patients with
neoadjuvant bladder cancer using enumeration and next generation sequencing. Materials …

Objective Despite having an organ confined tumor stage at the time of radical cystectomy, a
certain number of bladder cancer patients will develop local or distant metastases over time …

Background The diagnostic value and prognostic significance of circulating tumor cell (CTC)
detection in patients with bladder cancer is controversial. We performed a meta-analysis to …

Objective: Approximately one third of patients diagnosed with muscle-invasive urinary
bladder cancer (UBC) have undetected metastases at the time of treatment of the primary …
