Journal ArticleDOI

Liquid biopsy and minimal residual disease - latest advances and implications for cure.

TL;DR: Assays based on the detection of small numbers of circulating tumour cells or minute amounts of circulating cell-free tumour DNA (ctDNA) now enable MRD detection in patients with various malignancies and can provide insights into the molecular evolution of MRD during tumour progression.
Journal ArticleDOI

VCAM-1 promotes osteolytic expansion of indolent bone micrometastasis of breast cancer by engaging α4β1-positive osteoclast progenitors

TL;DR: A bone metastasis dormancy model is characterized to show that aberrant expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1), in part dependent on the activity of the NF-κB pathway, promotes the transition from indolent micrometastasis to overt metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Circulating microRNAs as blood-based markers for patients with primary and metastatic breast cancer

TL;DR: This pilot study provides first evidence that tumor-associated circulating miRs are elevated in the blood of breast cancer patients and associated with tumor progression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Circulating and disseminated tumour cells - mechanisms of immune surveillance and escape.

TL;DR: Findings relating to the interactions of CTCs and DTCs with the immune system are discussed, in the context of cancer immuno-editing, evasion from immune surveillance, and formation of metastases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Liquid Biopsies, What We Do Not Know (Yet).

TL;DR: The suitability of blood-based molecular profiles for early detection and monitoring minimal residual disease is being evaluated and open questions in this fast-evolving field of research are addressed.
