Automatic detection of circulating tumor cells in darkfield microscopic images of unstained blood using boosting techniques.

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are nowadays one of the most promising tumor biomarkers. It is well correlated with overall survival and progression-free survival in breast cancer, as well as in many other types of human cancer. In addition, enumeration and analysis of CTCs could be important for mon...
