CTC-Derived Models: A Window into the Seeding Capacity of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs)
25 Sept 2019
Abstract excerpt
Metastasis is the main cause of cancer-related death owing to the blood-borne dissemination of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) early in the process. A rare fraction of CTCs harboring a stem cell profile and tumor initiation capacities is thought to possess the clonogenic potential to seed new lesions. The highest plasticity has been generally attributed to CTCs with a partial epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition...
