Circulating 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 کاملThe current status and clinical value of circulating tumor cells and circulating cell-free tumor DNA in bladder cancer
Urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (UCB) is a complex disease, which is associated with highly aggressive tumor biologic behavior, especially in patients with muscle-invasive and advanced tumors. Despite multimodal therapy options including surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, UCB patients frequently suffer from poor clinical outcome. Indeed, the potential of diverse opportunities for moder...
متن کاملMolecular characterization and clinical utility of circulating tumor cells in the treatment of prostate cancer.
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are rare cancer cells that can be detected in the blood of patients with solid malignancies. The Veridex CellSearch Assay was analytically and clinically validated, and has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for the enumeration of CTCs in breast, colorectal, and prostate cancer. A number of alternative assays, with potential advantages, are...
متن کاملClinical Utility of Circulating Tumor Cells in ALK-Positive Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer
The advent of rationally targeted therapies such as small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has considerably transformed the therapeutic management of a subset of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring defined molecular abnormalities. When such genetic molecular alterations are detected the use of specific TKI has demonstrated better results (overall response rate, ...
متن کاملCirculating Tumor Cells, DNA, and mRNA: Potential for Clinical Utility in Patients With Melanoma.
UNLABELLED : Circulating tumor cells (CTCs), circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), and messenger RNA (mRNA), collectively termed circulating tumor products (CTPs), represent areas of immense interest from scientists' and clinicians' perspectives. In melanoma, CTP analysis may have clinical utility in many areas, from screening and diagnosis to clinical decision-making aids, as surveillance biomarkers ...
