Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are low frequency cells found in the bloodstream after having
been shed from a primary tumor. These cells are research targets because of the information …

Isolation of single circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from patients is a very challenging
technique that may promote the process of individualized antitumor therapies. However …

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have shown promising potential as liquid biopsies that
facilitate early detection, prognosis, therapeutic target selection and monitoring treatment …

Over the last decade, significant progress has been made towards the development of
approaches that enable the capture of rare circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from the blood of …

The analysis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is an important capability that may lead to new
approaches for cancer management. CTC capture devices developed to date isolate a bulk …

Multifunctional" smart" particles with magnetic, topographic, cell-targeting, and stimulus-
responsive properties are obtained using a" live template" strategy. These particles exhibit …

Identification and enumeration of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in peripheral blood are
proved to correlate with the progress of metastatic cancer and can provide valuable …

In this paper, we develop a low-cost size-based microfluidic chip using conventional
polycarbonate membrane to isolate CTCs from blood, and propose a strategy to increase …
