Molecular Biomarker Analyses Using Circulating Tumor Cells
8 Sept 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Evaluation of cancer biomarkers from blood could significantly enable biomarker assessment by providing a relatively non-invasive source of representative tumor material. Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) isolated from blood of metastatic cancer patients hold significant promise in this regard. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Using spiked tumor-cells we evaluated CTC capture on different CTC technology...
