Gene expression profile of circulating tumor cells in breast cancer by RT-qPCR
4 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have been associated with prognosis especially in breast cancer and have been proposed as a liquid biopsy for repeated follow up examinations. Molecular characterization of CTCs is difficult to address since they are very rare and the amount of available sample is very limited. METHODS: We quantified by RT-qPCR CK-19, MAGE-A3, HER-2, TWIST1, hTERT α+β+, and mammaglobin...
