The biology and clinical potential of circulating tumor cells
Tumor cells can shed from the tumor, enter the circulation and travel to distant organs, where they can seed metastases. These cells are called circulating tumor cells (CTCs).

Apoptotic cells promote circulating tumor cell survival and metastasis [PDF]
During tumor progression and especially following cytotoxic therapy, cell death of both tumor and stromal cells is widespread. Despite clinical observations that high levels of apoptotic cells correlate with poorer patient outcomes, the physiological ...

Bridging the gap: a genetically validated avian chorioallantoic membrane platform for investigation of spontaneous circulating tumor cells. [PDF]
We established the avian chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay as a scalable in vivo model for studying circulating tumor cells (CTCs). Human gastrointestinal tumors spontaneously released genetically validated CTCs that were detected across multiple platforms, demonstrating that the CAM model provides an accessible tool for investigating early cancer ...

ADAM19 Promotes EMT-Related Changes and Serves as a Prognostic Marker in Circulating Tumor Cells of Renal Cell Carcinoma. [PDF]
ADAM19 is associated with EMT‐related malignant phenotypes and NOTCH/NF‐κB pathway activity in RCC and may serve as a prognostic biomarker in CTCs. ABSTRACT Detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs), particularly characterization of their epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) phenotypes, may improve prognostic accuracy for malignancies ...

Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC) and Tumor-Derived Extracellular Vesicles (tdEV) [PDF]
The observation that increasing circulating tumor cell (CTC) and tumor-derived extracellular vesicle (tdEV) load is directly related to worse clinical outcome of cancer patients is in line with expectations.

Current Status of Circulating Tumor Cells in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Review
Objective Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are found in the blood of patients with cancer, including head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs). The aim is to review the most up-to-date status of CTCs for applications in patients with HNSCC.

Circulating Tumor Cells and Beyond [PDF]
As cancer progresses, tumor cells can travel through the blood circulation to form metastasis. These circulating tumor cells (CTC) can be used as a liquid biopsy for the real-time information they carry about the tumor.
