EpCAM-Independent Enrichment of Circulating Tumor Cells in Metastatic Breast Cancer.

EpCAM-Independent Enrichment of Circulating Tumor Cells in Metastatic Breast Cancer.

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are the potential precursors of metastatic disease. Most assays established for the enumeration of CTCs so far-including the gold standard CellSearch-rely on the expression of the cell surface marker epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM).
