Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the bloodstream are important biomarkers for clinical prognosis of cancers. Current CTC identification methods are based on immuno-labeling, which depends on the differential expression of specific antigens between the cancer cells and white blood cells. Here we present an antigen-independent CTC detection method utilizing a deep-learning-assisted single-cell biolaser.

- The study aimed to explore how a new geriatric risk index, which considers factors like age and comorbidities, impacts COVID-19 severity and mortality among older adults with cancer.
- It analyzed a cohort of 5,671 patients aged 60 and older who were part of a global cancer registry during the pandemic, focusing on outcomes based on the developed risk index.
- Results showed that nearly 20% of patients were labeled as high risk, and these individuals faced significantly worse COVID-19 severity compared to those classified as standard risk, with a mortality rate of 16.2% among all participants.
