Isolation and Molecular Characterization of Circulating Melanoma Cells

Isolation and Molecular Characterization of Circulating Melanoma Cells

Melanoma is an invasive malignancy with a high frequency of blood-borne metastases, but circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have not been readily isolated. We adapted microfluidic CTC capture to a tamoxifen-driven B-RAF/PTEN mouse melanoma model. CTCs were detected in all tumor-bearing mice and rapidly d...
