Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to directly compare mutation profiles in multiple single circulating tumor cells (CTC) and cell-free DNA (cfDNA) isolated from the same blood samples taken from patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). We aimed to determine whether cfDNA would reflect the heterogeneity observed in 40 single CTCs. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: CTCs were enumerated by CELLSEARCH. CTC count was...
