The capture, growth and genetic analysis of CTC in PDAC: What can it tell us about this disease?
CTC captured by ScreenCell devices were detected in patients with resectable PDAC. These CTC are capable of in-vitro growth confirming tumorigenicity. Selective deep sequencing demonstrated the feasibility of identifying mutations present in the primary tumor and their corresponding CTC.
