Blood biopsy profiles circulating tumour cells which hold clues to cancer treatment

2019-04-04

Abstract excerpt

Tumours shed cells over the course of its development and these cells migrate to the bloodstream after overcoming multiple barriers at the cellular and tissue level. Such cells are known as circulating tumour cells (CTCs). Thus, opportunities exist for using a simple blood draw to help isolate the circulating tumour cells that could inform cancer treatment. Specifically, circulating tumour cells could be isolated...
