Heterogeneity of Circulating Tumor Cell Neoplastic Subpopulations Outlined by Single-Cell Transcriptomics [PDF]
Fatal metastasis occurs when circulating tumor cells (CTCs) disperse through the blood to initiate a new tumor at specific sites distant from the primary tumor. CTCs have been classically defined as nucleated cells positive for epithelial cell adhesion molecule and select cytokeratins (EpCAM/CK/DAPI), while negative for the common lymphocyte marker ...

Circulating hypergranular neoplastic cells: not always leukemic promyelocytes [PDF]
![Figure][1] A 39-year-old woman presented with severe low back pain, hepatosplenomegaly, leukocytosis (15.9 × 109/L), anemia (7.3 g/dL), thrombocytopenia (48 × 109/L), and elevated serum tryptase (>200 ng/mL). Coagulation was normal.

Cancer remains a significant cause of mortality in developed countries, due in part to difficulties in early detection, understanding disease biology, and assessing treatment response. If effectively harnessed, circulating biomarkers promise to fulfill these needs through non-invasive “liquid” biopsy.

Label-free enrichment of rare unconventional circulating neoplastic cells using a microfluidic dielectrophoretic sorting device [PDF]
AbstractCellular circulating biomarkers from the primary tumor such as circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and circulating hybrid cells (CHCs) have been described to harbor tumor-like phenotype and genotype. CHCs are present in higher numbers than CTCs supporting their translational potential. Methods for isolation of CHCs do not exist and are restricted to

Circulating Neoplastic-Immune Hybrid Cells Predict Metastatic Progression in Uveal Melanoma
Background: Uveal melanoma is an aggressive cancer with high metastatic risk. Recently, we identified a circulating cancer cell population that co-expresses neoplastic and leukocyte antigens, termed circulating hybrid cells (CHCs). In other cancers, CHCs are more numerous and better predict oncologic outcomes compared to circulating tumor cells (CTCs).

Circulating Cell-Free DNA in Dogs with Mammary Tumors: Short and Long Fragments and Integrity Index [PDF]
Circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has been considered an interesting diagnostic/prognostic plasma biomarker in tumor-bearing subjects. In cancer patients, cfDNA can hypothetically derive from tumor necrosis/apoptosis, lysed circulating cells, and some ...

Disseminated neoplasia in blue mussels, Mytilus galloprovincialis, from the Black Sea, Romania [PDF]
Disseminated neoplasia, also called leukemia or hemic neoplasia, has been detected in 15 species of marine bivalve mollusks worldwide. The disease is characterized by the presence of single anaplastic cells with enlarged nuclei and sometimes frequent ...

Pivotal Role of Pervasive Neoplastic and Stromal Cells Reprogramming in Circulating Tumor Cells Dissemination and Metastatic Colonization [PDF]
Reciprocal interactions between neoplastic cells and their microenvironment are crucial events in carcinogenesis and tumor progression. Pervasive stromal reprogramming and remodeling that transform a normal to a tumorigenic microenvironment modify numerous stromal cells functions, status redox, oxidative stress, pH, ECM stiffness and energy metabolism.
