Isolation of rare tumor cells from blood cells with buoyant immuno-microbubbles.

Isolation of rare tumor cells from blood cells with buoyant immuno-microbubbles.

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are exfoliated at various stages of cancer, and could provide invaluable information for the diagnosis and prognosis of cancers.
