Isolating highly enriched populations of circulating epithelial cells and other rare cells from blood using a magnetic sweeper device
21 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
The enumeration of rare circulating epithelial cells (CEpCs) in the peripheral blood of metastatic cancer patients has shown promise for improved cancer prognosis. Moving beyond enumeration, molecular analysis of CEpCs may provide candidate surrogate endpoints to diagnose, treat, and monitor malignancy directly from the blood samples. Thorough molecular analysis of CEpCs requires the development of new sample...
