Men with no circulating tumor cells achieved significantly longer median OS (not reached) than those who had one to four circulating tumor cells (56.2 months; 95% CI, 45.7-69.8) and those who had ...

Investigators have designed an antibody-based treatment that eliminated circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in mouse models of breast and pancreatic cancer. The research, which was led by scientists at ...

Nagrath’s team of researchers developed the ‘GO chip’ in 2013, which succeeded where other tests fell short by trapping only circulating tumor cells (CTCs).

Circulating tumor cell count can be measured via a simple blood draw, known as a liquid biopsy. Researchers found five or more CTCs per 7.5 milliliters (mL) of blood drawn in 60 samples (11.9%), one ...
