Research goal was to isolate circulating tumor cells in venipuncture samples with improved purity compared to standard spiral chips Many research teams are pursuing the goal of creating assays that detect circulating tumor cells (CTCs) that would allow earlier and more accurate diagnosis of cancer. Now comes news of a unique technology developed at the University of Michigan (U-M) Ann Arbor that showed promised in an early study. The method of using CTCs to diagnose cancer in patients, while...
