Journal ArticleDOI

Micrometastatic spread in breast cancer: detection, molecular characterization and clinical relevance

TL;DR: Characterization of DTCs should help to identify novel targets for biological therapies aimed to prevent metastatic relapse and understanding tumor 'dormancy' and identifying metastatic stem cells might result in the development of new therapeutic concepts.
Journal Article

Malignant potential and cytogenetic characteristics of occult disseminated tumor cells in esophageal cancer.

TL;DR: The data provide first direct evidence for the malignant potential of micrometastatic cancer cells in esophageal cancer, and the tumorigenicity and metastatic potential of both cell lines were demonstrated in severe combined immunodeficient mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Advancing personalized cancer therapy by detection and characterization of circulating carcinoma cells.

TL;DR: Evidence has emerged that the currently used detection methods lack sensitivity or specificity to track all CTC, especially those that have lost characteristic epithelial features, and molecular CTC analysis will provide insights into the selection of tumor cells and resistance mechanisms in patients undergoing systemic therapies.
