Highly sensitive detection and mutational analysis of lung cancer circulating tumor cells using integrated combined immunomagnetic beads with a droplet digital PCR chip.

Abstract excerpt

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have become an important biomarker for liquid biopsy to monitor tumor progression and indicate response to therapies. Many epithelial cellular adhesion molecule (EpCAM) dependent CTC isolation methods have been developed, which have a limitation for low EpCAM expressed tumor cells. In an effort to overcome these drawbacks, we developed combined immunomagnetic beads (EpCAM, Mucin1...
