Total Number of Alterations in Liquid Biopsies Is an Independent Predictor of Survival in Patients With Advanced Cancers. [PDF]
, 2020 PurposeStudies have demonstrated an association between quantity of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and poorer survival. We investigated the relationship between percent ctDNA (%ctDNA), total number of ctDNA alterations, and overall survival (OS) in liquid

Impact of chronic exposure to bevacizumab on EpCAM-based detection of circulating tumor cells [PDF]
, 2015 BACKGROUND: Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are often undetected through the immunomagnetic epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM)-based CellSearch(®) System in breast and colorectal cancer (CRC) patients treated with bevacizumab (BEV), where low ...

Circulating Tumor Cell and Cell-free Circulating Tumor DNA in Lung Cancer [PDF]
Chonnam Medical Journal, 2016 Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are tumor cells that are separated from the primary site or metastatic lesion and disseminate in blood circulation. CTCs are considered to be part of the long process of cancer metastasis. As a 'liquid biopsy', CTC molecular examination and investigation of single cancer cells create an important opportunity for providing

Detection of activating estrogen receptor gene (ESR1) mutations in single circulating tumor cells [PDF]
, 2017 Purpose: Early detection is essential for treatment plans before onset of metastatic disease. Our purpose was to demonstrate feasibility to detect and monitor estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) gene mutations at the single circulating tumor cell (CTC) level in ...

Niche inheritance: a cooperative pathway to enhance cancer cell fitness though ecosystem engineering [PDF]
, 2014 Cancer cells can be described as an invasive species that is able to establish itself in a new environment. The concept of niche construction can be utilized to describe the process by which cancer cells terraform their environment, thereby engineering ...

Label-free isolation of prostate circulating tumor cells using Vortex microfluidic technology. [PDF]
, 2017 There has been increased interest in utilizing non-invasive "liquid biopsies" to identify biomarkers for cancer prognosis and monitoring, and to isolate genetic material that can predict response to targeted therapies. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have

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 ...
