Circulating Tumor Cell Composition in Renal Cell Carcinoma. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 PURPOSE:Due to their minimal-invasive yet potentially current character circulating tumor cells (CTC) might be useful as a "liquid biopsy" in solid tumors. However, successful application in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) has been very limited so

Circulating tumor cells isolation: The “post-EpCAM era” [PDF]
, 2015 Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) represent a submicroscopic fraction detached from a primary tumor and in transit to a secondary site. The prognostic significance of CTCs in metastatic cancer patients was demonstrated for the first time more than ten years

The importance of circulating tumor products as „liquid biopsies” in colorectal cancer [PDF]
, 2018 Liquid biopsies represent an array of plasma analysis tests that are studied to evaluate and identify circulating tumor products, especially circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA).

Circulating Tumor Cells for Glioma [PDF]
Frontiers in Oncology, 2021 Liquid biopsy has entered clinical applications for several cancers, including metastatic breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer for CTC enumeration and NSCLC for EGFR mutations in ctDNA, and has improved the individualized treatment of many cancers, but relatively little progress has been made in validating circulating biomarkers for brain ...

Algorithm to identify circulating tumor cell clusters using in vivo flow cytometer [PDF]
Journal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences, 2018 Recent studies in oncology have addressed the importance of detecting circulating tumor cell clusters because circulating tumor cell clusters might survive and metastasize more easily than single circulating tumor cells.

Human plasmacytoid dendritic cells and cutaneous melanoma [PDF]
, 2020 The prognosis of metastatic melanoma (MM) patients has remained poor for a long time. However, the recent introduction of effective target therapies (BRAF and MEK inhibitors for BRAFV600-mutated MM) and immunotherapies (anti-CTLA-4 and anti-PD-1) has ...

Prognostic and predictive value of circulating tumor cells and CXCR4 expression as biomarkers for a CXCR4 peptide antagonist in combination with carboplatin-etoposide in small cell lung cancer: exploratory analysis of a phase II study. [PDF]
, 2017 Background Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 4 (CXCR4) expression in CTCs and tumor tissue were evaluated as prognostic or predictive markers of CXCR4 peptide antagonist LY2510924 plus carboplatin-etoposide (CE) versus ...

MAIT cells come to the rescue in cancer immunotherapy? [PDF]
, 2020 Recent progress in immunobiology has led to the observation that, among cells classically categorized as the typical representatives of the adaptive immune system, i.e., T cells, some possess the phenotype of innate cells.

Circulating cell-free DNA and circulating tumor cells, the “liquid biopsies” in ovarian cancer
Journal of Ovarian Research, 2017 Limited understanding of ovarian cancer (OC) genome portrait has hindered the therapeutic advances. The serial monitoring of tumor genotypes is becoming increasingly attainable with circulating cell-free DNA (cf-DNA) and circulating tumor cells (CTCs ...
