Circulating Peptidome to Indicate the Tumor-resident Proteolysis
Tumor-resident proteases (TRPs) are regarded as informative biomarkers for staging cancer progression and evaluating therapeutic efficacy. Currently in the clinic, measurement of TRP is dependent on invasive biopsies, limiting their usefulness as monitoring tools. Here we identified circulating peptides naturally produced by TRPs, and evaluated their potential to monitor the efficacy of anti-tu...
متن کاملStem Cell-Like Circulating Tumor Cells Indicate Poor Prognosis in Gastric Cancer
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs), which have stem cell-like characteristics, might play a crucial role in cancer metastasis. CD44 has been identified as gastric cancer (GC) stem cell (CSC) marker. Here, the prognostic significance of CD44-positive CTCs in GC patients was investigated. CTCs were detected in 27 of 45 GC patients. The presence of CTCs was significantly associated with lymph node met...
متن کاملCirculating Tumor Cells: Back to the Future
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are rare and heterogeneous cells found in the peripheral blood of cancer patients. They are supposed to be a central component of metastatic dissemination and have been correlated with prognosis, progression-free survival, and treatment efficacy in different solid tumors (1, 2). Despite CTC significance, studies conducted on them still present considerable issues....
متن کاملCirculating Tumor Cells and Circulating Tumor DNA: Challenges and Opportunities on the Path to Clinical Utility.
Recent technological advances have enabled the detection and detailed characterization of circulating tumor cells (CTC) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in blood samples from patients with cancer. Often referred to as a "liquid biopsy," CTCs and ctDNA are expected to provide real-time monitoring of tumor evolution and therapeutic efficacy, with the potential for improved cancer diagnosis and t...
متن کاملHER2-positive circulating tumor cells indicate poor clinical outcome in stage I to III breast cancer patients.
PURPOSE Early metastasis in node-negative breast cancer indicates that breast cancer cells obviously can bypass the lymph nodes and disseminate directly hematogenous to distant organs. For this purpose, we evaluated the prognostic value of blood-borne, HER2-positive circulating tumor cells (CTC) in the peripheral blood from 42 breast cancer patients with a median follow-up of 95 months. EXPER...
