Circulating tumor cell clusters: Insights into tumour dissemination and metastasis [PDF]
Expert Review of Molecular Diagnostics, 2020 Introduction: Metastasis results in more than 90% of cancer-related deaths globally. The process is thought to be facilitated by metastatic precursor cells, commonly termed circulating tumor cells (CTCs). CTCs can exist as single cells or cell clusters and travel through the lymphovasculature to distant organs where they can form overt metastasis ...

The Effect of Lung Resection for NSCLC on Circulating Immune Cells: A Pilot Study
Current Oncology, 2023 This pilot study sought to evaluate the circulating levels of immune cells, particularly regulatory T-cell (Treg) subsets, before and after lung resection for non-small cell lung cancer.

Proportion of circulating tumor cell clusters increases during cancer metastasis [PDF]
Cytometry Part A, 2016 AbstractCirculating tumor cell (CTC) clusters are found among CTCs and show significantly greater potential for an important role in cancer metastasis than single CTCs, which have been traditionally believed as the majority of CTCs. The accurate proportion and dynamics of CTC clusters remain unclear due to the fact that CTCs in blood flow are very ...

Clusters of circulating tumor cells: A biophysical and technological perspective [PDF]
Current Opinion in Biomedical Engineering, 2017 The vast majority of cancer associated deaths result from metastasis, yet the behaviors of its most potent cellular driver, circulating tumor cell clusters, are only beginning to be revealed. This review highlights recent advances to our understanding of tumor cell clusters with emphasis on enabling technologies.

APL Bioengineering, 2022 Circulating tumor cell (CTC) clusters that are shed from the primary tumor into the bloodstream are associated with a poor prognosis, elevated metastatic potential, higher proliferation rate, and distinct molecular features compared to single CTCs ...

Frontiers in Oncology, 2023 Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women, contributing to high rates of morbidity and mortality owing to the ability of these tumors to metastasize via the vascular system even in the early stages of progression. While ultrasonography and

Circulating tumor cell clusters: What we know and what we expect (Review). [PDF]
Int J Oncol, 2016 The major cause of cancer-associated mortality is tumor metastasis, a disease that is far from understood. Many studies have observed circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in patients' circulation systems, and a few latest investigations showed that CTC clusters have a potentially high capacity of metastasis. The capture and analysis of CTC clusters offer new
