Real-time in vivo imaging of subpopulations of circulating tumor cells using antibody conjugated quantum dots

Abstract Introduction The detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is very important for cancer diagnosis. CTCs can travel from primary tumors through the circulation to form secondary tumor colonies via bloodstream extravasation. The number of CTCs has been used as an indicator of cancer progres...
