Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is a promising biomarker for cancer prognosis and monitoring. Molecular characterizing of CTCs could provide beneficial information on the basis of CTCs counting. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) phenotypes and GALC mRNA expression of CTCs in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. METHODS: We analyzed the baseline number, EMT...
