New Technologies Aim To Find Cancer in the Blood.
- Authors
Beckman, Mary
- Abstract
The article focuses on technologies that can be used in characterizing the rare cancer cells known as circulating tumor cells (CTC). One is Immunicon's CellSearch. It is the best known CTC detection method, which identifies cancer cells in the blood by using antibodies directed against an epithelial cell protein called EpCAM. Another is fiber-optic array scanning technology cytometry. It can be used in determining CTCs in women with breast cancer.
