Gene expression of circulating tumour cells in breast cancer patients
BACKGROUND The diagnostic tools to predict the prognosis in patients suffering from breast cancer (BC) need further improvements. New technological achievements like the gene profiling of circulating tumour cells (CTC) could help identify new prognostic markers in the clinical setting. Furthermore, gene expression patterns of CTC might provide important informations on the mechanisms of tumour ...
متن کاملCirculating tumour cells in breast cancer
Evaluation of isolated tumour cells in bone marrow (BM) and peripheral blood has become a major focus of translational cancer research. The presence of disseminated tumour cells in BM is a common phenomenon observed in 30-40% of primary breast cancer patients and independently predicts reduced clinical outcome. The detection of circulating tumour cells (CTCs) in blood might become a desired alt...
متن کاملCirculating tumour cells in breast cancer--review.
Disseminated malignancies are responsible for the majority of cancer-related deaths. During the metastatic process, circulating tumour cells (CTCs) are generated. The presence of CTCs, epithelial cells found in the peripheral blood, is an essential step in establishing distant metastases. Circulating epithelial cells have the morphology of malignant cells and their number in the blood correlate...
متن کاملGene expression of circulating tumour cells and its correlation with tumour stage in breast cancer patients
BACKGROUND Breast cancer (BC) represents one of the leading causes of cancer related deaths worldwide. New tools for diagnostic staging and therapeutic monitoring are needed to improve individualized therapies and improve clinical outcome. The analyses of circulating tumour cells may provide important prognostic information in the clinical setting. MATERIALS AND METHODS Circulating tumour cel...
