The Prognostic Role of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) in Lung Cancer. [PDF]
Front Oncol, 2018 Lung cancer affects over 1.8 million people worldwide and is the leading cause of cancer related mortality globally. Currently, diagnosis of lung cancer involves a combination of imaging and invasive biopsies to confirm histopathology.

Evaluation of Isolation Methods for Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) [PDF]
Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2016 Background: Detection of CTCs is a poor prognostic factor for many cancer types; however, their very low frequency represents an obstacle for their detection. The objective of the current study was to compare the performance of commonly used methods for CTCs isolation.

Fugitives on the run: circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in metastatic diseases. [PDF]
Cancer Metastasis Rev, 2019 The presence of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the bloodstream signals the existence of a tumor and denotes risk of metastatic spread. CTCs can be isolated and analyzed to monitor cancer progression and therapeutic response. However, CTC isolation devices have shown considerable variation in detection rates, limiting their use as a routine ...
