Innovative device uses acoustic sound waves to gently separate circulating cancer cells from white blood cells In many respects, the ability to separate and identify circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is one of the holy grails of cancer diagnostics. It is widely believed that a clinical laboratory test that can effectively identify CTCs would contribute to earlier detection of cancer and improved outcomes for caner patients. Pathologists will be interested to learn about a useful new tool that can...
