Size-based isolation of circulating tumor cells in lung cancer patients using a microcavity array system.

Size-based isolation of circulating tumor cells in lung cancer patients using a microcavity array system.

Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM)-based enumeration of circulating tumor cells (CTC) has prognostic value in patients with solid tumors, such as advanced breast, colon, and prostate cancer. However, poor sensitivity has been reported for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). To address this pr...
