Detection and oncological impact of circulating tumor cells in bladder cancer patients with presence of copy number variations of circulating cell free DNA.

TL;DR: Investigation of detection and oncological impact of circulating tumor cells (CTC) in bladder cancer patients with presence of copy number variations (CNV) of circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) treated with radical cystectomy found MLPA was suitable for characterization of CNV.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of preoperatively detected circulating tumor cells on the outcome of patients with urothelial carcinoma of the bladder treated with radical cystectomy.

TL;DR: Although CTC can not predict pathological or nodal stage, they are associated with inferior disease outcome, and detection of even 1 CTC/7.5 mL blood in UCB patients prior to RC is an independent predictor for disease recurrence and cancer-related death.
