Association of Circulating Tumor Cells with Serum Tumor-Related Methylated DNA in Peripheral Blood of Melanoma Patients
15 Jun 2006
Abstract excerpt
Although previous studies have separately shown the utility of circulating tumor cells (CTC) or cell-free tumor-related DNA in blood of cancer patients, there has been no investigation of their association and/or the prognostic value of combining these assessments. To date, the true source of tumor-related DNA in serum remains unknown. We hypothesized that CTC is a possible origin of serum tumor-related...
