Tumor Hypoxia and Circulating Tumor Cells [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020 Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are a rare tumor cell subpopulation induced and selected by the tumor microenvironment’s extreme conditions. Under hypoxia and starvation, these aggressive and invasive cells are able to invade the lymphatic and circulatory systems.

Cells, 2021 Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) provide an accessible tool for investigating tumor heterogeneity and cell populations with metastatic potential. Although an in-depth molecular investigation is limited by the extremely low CTC count in circulation ...

Circulating tumor cells: biology and clinical significance
Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, 2021 Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are tumor cells that have sloughed off the primary tumor and extravasate into and circulate in the blood. Understanding of the metastatic cascade of CTCs has tremendous potential for the identification of targets against ...

T cells in tumor microenvironment [PDF]
Tumor Biology, 2015 Tumors progress in a specific area, which supports its development, spreading or shrinking in time with the presence of different factors that effect the fate of the cancer cells. This specialized site is called "tumor microenvironment" and has a composition of heterogenous materials.

Molecular Oncology, 2017 Metastasis is the primary cause of death in cancer patients and current treatments fail to provide durable responses. Efforts to treat metastatic disease are hindered by the fact that metastatic cells often remain dormant for prolonged intervals of years, or even decades.

Diagnostics, 2021 The presence of contaminating gDNA in RNA preparations is a frequent cause of false positives in RT-PCR-based analysis. However, in some cases, this cannot be avoided, especially when there are no exons–intron junctions in the lncRNA sequences.
