Deskripsi
Current methods for acquiring dissemination kinetics of rare circulating tumor cells (CTCs) that form metastases have several limitations. Here, the authors show an approach for measuring endogenous CTC kinetics by continuously exchanging CTC-containing blood between un-anesthetized, tumor-bearing mice and healthy, tumor-free counterparts.
