Molecular Biomarker Analyses Using Circulating Tumor Cells
BACKGROUND Evaluation of cancer biomarkers from blood could significantly enable biomarker assessment by providing a relatively non-invasive source of representative tumor material. Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) isolated from blood of metastatic cancer patients hold significant promise in this regard. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Using spiked tumor-cells we evaluated CTC capture on differe...
متن کاملCirculating tumor cells: a multifunctional biomarker.
One of the most promising developments in translational cancer medicine has been the emergence of circulating tumor cells (CTC) as a minimally invasive multifunctional biomarker. CTCs in peripheral blood originate from solid tumors and are involved in the process of hematogenous metastatic spread to distant sites for the establishment of secondary foci of disease. The emergence of modern CTC te...
متن کاملSingle-cell analyses of circulating tumor cells
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are a population of tumor cells mediating metastasis, which results in most of the cancer related deaths. The number of CTCs in the peripheral blood of patients is rare, and many platforms have been launched for detection and enrichment of CTCs. Enumeration of CTCs has already been used as a prognosis marker predicting the survival rate of cancer patients. Yet CTC...
متن کاملBlood-based analyses of cancer: circulating tumor cells and circulating tumor DNA.
UNLABELLED The ability to study nonhematologic cancers through noninvasive sampling of blood is one of the most exciting and rapidly advancing fields in cancer diagnostics. This has been driven both by major technologic advances, including the isolation of intact cancer cells and the analysis of cancer cell-derived DNA from blood samples, and by the increasing application of molecularly driven ...
متن کاملUsing Sound To Separate Circulating Tumor Cells.
Since 2010, Tony Huang, Ph.D., from the Acoustofluidics laboratory at Penn State University in University Park, Penn.; Ming Dao, Ph.D., from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge; and Subra Suresh, Ph.D., now president of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, came up with the idea of using sound waves to tweeze out pathological cells from normal blood cells. Four years late...
