Metastasis is one of the main obstacles in treating cancer. Studying circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and CTC clusters at the single-cell level can help us understand the underlying mechanisms and ...

Clinical implications of the 2012 US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) PSA screening recommendation in prostate cancer diagnoses and 5-year survival at a Minnesota safety net health care system.

CTC are outnumbered by red blood cells and leukocytes in the blood. Stem cells and epithelial cells in the bone marrow are additional contaminants for DTC. Therefore, a first step aiming at enriching ...

Following treatment for locally advanced non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the presence of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) may provide early evidence of recurrence and might be useful for monitoring ...

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs), originating from primary neoplastic tissues, infiltrate blood vessels, migrate through the bloodstream, and establish secondary tumor foci. The detection of CTCs holds ...

A proof of concept study suggests an FT-IR microspectroscopy blood test can detect a single circulating tumour cell in a lung cancer patient, supporting future real time monitoring.

Cancer continues to be a leading cause of mortality worldwide, highlighting the urgent need to develop more advanced, efficient, and early detection methods. Addressing this critical need, City ...

Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) is the most prevalent form of lung cancer, accounting for more than 80 percent of all lung cancer cases. Despite the aggressive nature of NSCLC, circulating tumor ...

Evolution of pain in patients with metastatic pancreatic carcinoma treated with FOLFIRINOX or gemcitabine in a randomized phase III study (ACCORD11/PRODIGE4). This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Accurately diagnosing the spread of cancer often involves painful and invasive biopsy procedures. The use of a “liquid biopsy,” which involves a simple blood draw, has been ...
