Heterogeneous expression of EPCAM in human circulating tumour cells from patient-derived xenografts

Abstract Background We aim to characterize the heterogeneous circulating tumour cells (CTCs) in peripheral blood, independently of physical or immunological purification, by using patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) models. CTC studies from blood generally rely on enrichment or purification. Conversel...
