Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM)
Annals of Surgical Oncology, 2013To investigate the diagnostic and prognostic value of circulating tumor cells (CTCs), a potential surrogate of micrometastasis, in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM).We prospectively evaluated CTCs in 7.5 mL of peripheral blood sampled from patients with a suspicion of MPM.

Circulating tumor cells (CTC) detection: Clinical impact and future directions
Cancer Letters, 2007Recent molecular and clinical studies have shown that invasion may occur very early in tumor development, thus emphasizing the potential importance of specific and sensitive detection of circulating tumor cells (CTC) and circulating tumor microemboli (CTM).

Microchip for Immunomagnetic Sorting of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs)
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) isolated directly from whole blood opens new perspectives for cancer monitoring and the development of personalized treatments. However, due to their rarity among the multitude of blood cells, it remains a challenge to recover them alive with high level of purity, i.e., with few remaining white blood cells, and in a time ...Descamps, Lucie +5 more

Current Methods of the Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC) Analysis: A Brief Overview
Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2017This mini review provides a short overview of the main methods of the selection and analysis of the circulating tumor cells. We briefly focus on the evolution of the technical approaches used in the CTCs analysis from early description of the most discussed contemporary workflows such as Cellsearch and CTC-iChip.

Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) as a Liquid Biopsy Material and Drug Target
Current Drug Targets, 2014Neuro-hormonal regulation of cardiac function via cathecol-amines results in increased heart rate and contractility. A persistent adrenergic tone, however, is an insult to the heart, affecting its regular homeostasis, altering morphology and gene expression patterns, as well as inducing apoptosis of cardio-myocytes. At the same time as being the main

Abstract 1553: Redefining CTCs: Detection of cytokeratin-negative circulating tumor cells (CTCs)
Cancer Research, 2011Abstract Introduction: There is growing evidence that CTCs display an epithelial-mesenchymal transition phenotype. Current enrichment techniques rely upon epithelial markers for capture (anti-EpCAM antibodies and cytokeratin [CK]) and may miss important populations of circulating tumor cells.

The Mechanism of Circulating Tumor Cell (CTC) Detection
MedScienThe high lethality of cancer is mainly attributed to its metastatic ability. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs), as important mediators driving tumor metastasis, have significant research value in tumor progression and prognosis assessment. In recent years, CTC detection methods have been continuously evolving, mainly including detection based on cell ...
