Profiling tumour heterogeneity through circulating tumour DNA in patients with pancreatic cancer

The majority of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC) are diagnosed late so that surgery is rarely curative. Earlier detection could significantly increase the likelihood of successful treatment and improve survival. The aim of the study was to provide proof of principle that point mutations in key cancer genes can be identified by sequencing circulating free DNA (cfDNA) and that this could ...

Circulating tumour cells in breast cancer

Evaluation of isolated tumour cells in bone marrow (BM) and peripheral blood has become a major focus of translational cancer research. The presence of disseminated tumour cells in BM is a common phenomenon observed in 30-40% of primary breast cancer patients and independently predicts reduced clinical outcome. The detection of circulating tumour cells (CTCs) in blood might become a desired alt...

Tumour radiobiology beyond fractionation

Historically it has been shown repeatedly that single high doses of radiation do not allow a therapeutic differential between tumor and critical normal tissues but dose fractionation does. The purpose of conventional dose fractionation is to increase dose to the tumor while preserving normal tissue function. Tumors are generally irradiated with 2Gy dose per fraction delivered daily to a more or...

Circulating tumour cells in breast cancer--review.

Disseminated malignancies are responsible for the majority of cancer-related deaths. During the metastatic process, circulating tumour cells (CTCs) are generated. The presence of CTCs, epithelial cells found in the peripheral blood, is an essential step in establishing distant metastases. Circulating epithelial cells have the morphology of malignant cells and their number in the blood correlate...

Tumour-Associated Transcripts and EGFR Deletion Variants in Colorectal Cancer in Primary Tumour, Metastases and Circulating Tumour Cells

The clinical relevance of circulating tumour cells (CTC) in peripheral blood of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) has been described as an independent prognostic factor useful to monitor drug effects and clinical status. The aim of the present study was to compare the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) status of primary tumour, related metastases and CTC of patients with CRC. Therefore...
