TLDR
In this paper, the authors compared an epithelial marker-dependent (CellSearch) and a marker-independent (isolation by size of epithelial tumor cells [ISET]) technology platform for the ability to identify CTCs.

Circulating Breast Tumor Cells Exhibit Dynamic Changes in Epithelial and Mesenchymal Composition

TL;DR: A role for EMT in the blood-borne dissemination of human breast cancer is supported as both single cells and multicellular clusters, expressing known EMT regulators, including transforming growth factor (TGF)–β pathway components and the FOXC1 transcription factor.
Journal ArticleDOI

A microfluidic device for label-free, physical capture of circulating tumor cell clusters

TL;DR: A microchip technology (the Cluster-Chip) is developed to capture CTC clusters independently of tumor-specific markers from unprocessed blood to enable the detailed characterization of their biological properties and role in metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Progress and prospects of early detection in lung cancer

TL;DR: Despite significant developments in the oncological management of late stage lung cancer over recent years, survival remains poor and the UK Office for National Statistics reported that patients diagnosed with distant metastatic disease had a 1-year survival rate of just 15–19% compared with 81–85% for stage I.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular analysis of circulating tumour cells—biology and biomarkers

TL;DR: How circulating tumour cells (CTCs), captured from a minimally invasive blood test—and readily amenable to serial sampling—have the potential to inform intratumour heterogeneity and tumour evolution is described, although it remains to be determined how useful this will be in the clinic.

Sensitive capture of circulating tumour cells by functionalized graphene oxide nanosheets

TL;DR: An effective approach to isolate CTCs from blood samples of pancreatic, breast and lung cancer patients is demonstrated by using functionalised graphene oxide nanosheets on a patterned gold surface.

Epithelial–mesenchymal transitions in tumour progression

TL;DR: Epithelial–mesenchymal transition provides a new basis for understanding the progression of carcinoma towards dedifferentiated and more malignant states.

Complex networks orchestrate epithelial–mesenchymal transitions

TL;DR: Understanding how mesenchymal cells arise from an epithelial default status will also have a strong impact in unravelling the mechanisms that control fibrosis and cancer progression.

Collective cell migration in morphogenesis, regeneration and cancer

TL;DR: Comparing different types of collective migration at the molecular and cellular level reveals a common mechanistic theme between developmental and cancer research.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tumor cells circulate in the peripheral blood of all major carcinomas but not in healthy subjects or patients with nonmalignant diseases.

TL;DR: The CellSearch system can be standardized across multiple laboratories and may be used to determine the clinical utility of CTCs, which are extremely rare in healthy subjects and patients with nonmalignant diseases but present in various metastatic carcinomas with a wide range of frequencies.
