The significance of circulating tumour cells in breast cancer: a review.

Breast (Edinburgh, Scotland) - 1 Oct 2014

Castle J, Shaker H, Morris K, Tugwood J D, Kirwan C C

Abstract excerpt

Haematogenous spread of circulating tumour cells (CTCs) is the principle mechanism for development of metastases. Research into the enumeration and characterisation of CTCs, particularly in the last decade, has allowed the introduction of semi-automated CTC assessment in the clinical setting. In...
