The Mechanical Fingerprint of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) in Breast Cancer Patients

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are a potential predictive surrogate marker for disease monitoring. Due to the sparse knowledge about their phenotype and its changes during cancer progression and treatment response, CTC isolation remains challenging. Here we focused on the mechanical characterization...
