KEY TAKEAWAYS

1.

What are CTCs and what do they mean?

Cells from a collection of cancer cells, tumor or metastatic deposit
Sometime seen on scans but not always
Circulate in the blood or lymphatic tissues
Can only test for the CTC in blood. Need biopsy to detect in lymphatic tissue The presence of CTCs doesn’t necessarily indicate metastatic cancer CTCs don’t live very long in the blood – persistent CTC is cause for concern
