Development of an automated size-based filtration system for isolation of circulating tumor cells in lung cancer patients.

Development of an automated size-based filtration system for isolation of circulating tumor cells in lung cancer patients.

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs), defined as tumor cells circulating in the peripheral blood of patients with solid tumors, are relatively rare. Diagnosis using CTCs is expected to help in the decision-making for precision cancer medicine. We have developed an automated microcavity array (MCA) system...
