Abstract excerpt

Techniques to identify low frequency (i.e., 10(-4)-10(-5)) tumor cells in bone marrow and peripheral blood of cancer patients provide opportunities for early detection of disseminated disease and characterization of the properties of cells released from the tumor. Low frequency epithelial cells i...
