Immunomagnetic circulating tumor cells (CTCs) detection at small scale : multiphysical modeling, thin-film magnets and cancer screening

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are the cells that are shed from a primary tumor into the vasculature and circulate in the bloodstream. CTCs may trigger cancer metastasis, which leads to most cancer-related deaths. CTCs are widely studied due to their value in cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and oncolog...
