Article Synopsis
- - Various new circulating tumor cell (CTC) detection systems have been developed, but it remains challenging to surpass the prognostic value provided by the established CellSearch system in cancer diagnostics.
- - The researchers created a semi-automated system called FCMC, which can capture CTCs without relying on specific tumor markers, and they conducted a comparison between FCMC and CellSearch in breast cancer patients.
- - Results showed that FCMC had a statistically higher detection rate of certain cancer cells and a significantly greater number of CTCs detected in patient samples compared to CellSearch, with both systems showing potential as strong prognostic indicators for cancer progression.
