Distinct mutation profiles between primary bladder cancer and circulating tumor cells warrant the use of circulating tumors cells as cellular resource for mutation follow-up

Abstract Background While circulating tumor cells may serve as minimally invasive cancer markers for bladder cancers, the relationship between primary bladder cancers and circulating tumor cells in terms of somatic mutations is largely unknown. Genome sequencing of bladder tumor and circulating tumo...
