Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Circulating tumor cells (CTC) with a very-small-nuclear phenotype (vsnCTC) in prostate cancer are characterized by nuclei smaller than 8.5 μm. Our previous studies established an association between vsnCTCs and visceral metastasis. Reduction of emerin (EMD), a nuclear envelope protein, contributes to prostate cancer metastasis and nuclear shape instability. In this study, we investigated the correlation...
