Abstract excerpt
Enumeration of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) may reflect the metastatic potential of breast cancer (BC). By using the DEPArray, we investigated CTCs with respect to their epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition phenotype and compared their genomic heterogeneity with tissue biopsies. Seventeen stage IV BC patients were enrolled. Pre-enriched CTC suspensions were stained with fluorescent-labeled antibodies to...
