  • METHOD OF ISOLATING CIRCULATING TUMOR CELLS
    Publication number: 20230184776
    Abstract: Provided are methods for detecting or isolating circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in a subject. The methods may include detecting the expression of at least one epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) biomarker. Further provided are kits for detecting or isolating CTCs. The kits may include antibodies to at least one EMT biomarker. Further provided are methods of predicting the responsiveness of a subject to a cancer drug, methods of targeting delivery of a cancer drug in a subject, methods of providing a cancer prognosis to a subject, and methods for following the progress of cancer in a subject.
    Type: Application
    Filed: December 8, 2022
    Publication date: June 15, 2023
    Inventors: Galla Chandra Rao, Mark C. Connelly, Mariano A. Garcia-Blanco, Andrew J. Armstrong, Rhonda L. Bitting
