Circulating Tumor Cells and Circulating Tumor DNA

Annual Review of Medicine, 2012
Solid tumors derived from epithelial tissues (carcinomas) are responsible for 90% of all new cancers in Europe, and the main four tumor entities are breast, prostate, lung, and colon cancer. Present tumor staging is mainly based on local tumor extension, metastatic lymph node involvement, and evidence of overt distant metastasis obtained by imaging ...

Tumor heterogeneity and circulating tumor cells

Cancer Letters, 2016
In patients with cancer, individualized treatment strategies are generally guided by an analysis of molecular biomarkers. However, genetic instability allows tumor cells to lose monoclonality and acquire genetic heterogeneity, an important characteristic of tumors, during disease progression.

Circulating Tumor Cells and Circulating Tumor DNA in Urologic Cancers

Urologic Clinics of North America, 2023
Liquid biopsies such as circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) have great potential to serve as prognostic and predictive biomarkers in urologic cancers. The possibility of using liquid biopsies for real-time noninvasive and dynamic monitoring of response to therapy has been an active area of investigation.

Circulating Tumor Cells

2010
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can be separated and characterized from normal hematopoietic cellular constituents by a variety of methods. Different strategies have included separation by physical characteristics, such as size or weight, or by biological characteristics, such as expression of epithelial or cancer-specific markers.

Circulating Tumor Cells

2017
In most solid tumors, it is distant metastases rather than the primary tumor which limit the prognosis. Distant metastases are caused by circulating tumor cells (CTCs) which actively invade the blood stream, attach to the endothelium in the target organ, invade the surrounding parenchyma, and form new tumors.

Circulating Tumor Cells

2015
Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC) are shed from primary or secondary tumors. Prior studies have demonstrated that enumeration of CTC is a robust independent prognostic factor of progression free and overall survival in patients with early and metastatic breast cancer.

Circulating Tumor Cells Revisited

JAMA, 2010
DESPITE THE USE OF MODERN HIGH-RESOLUTION imaging technologies, it is not possible to detect tumor cell metastasis at a single cell level. To date, cancer treatment is initiated only after the clinical presentation of disease. This approach generally is unsuccessful and translates into the dogma that metastasis is a terminal process, generally viewed ...
