METHODS AND ASSAYS RELATING TO CIRCULATING TUMOR CELLS |
| 摘要 |
The technology described herein relates to methods of detecting circulating tumor cells (CTCs), e.g. by detecting changes in the expression of certain CTC marker genes. Aberrant expression of CTC marker genes, e.g. changes in expression indicative of CTCs can also be targeted in order to treat cancer. |

1. A method of detecting circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in a sample, the method comprising:
measuring the level of a PC-CTC marker gene expression product in the sample; wherein a level of the marker gene expression product which is greater than a reference level indicates the presence of CTCs in the sample. |
