Simultaneous expression of epithelial and immune cell markers in circulating tumor cells identified in patients with stage 4 breast cancer
24 Jul 2025
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Heterogeneous circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have been implicated in the formation of new metastases. However, circulating cells expressing both tumor and immune cell proteins are often dismissed as insignificant findings in CTC studies. METHODS: Two non-contemporaneous blood samples from a metastatic breast cancer patient were analyzed using an enrichment-free platform to identify canonical,...
