Details:
• Review of epitope-independent harvesting of CTCs from blood for subsequent analysis
• Discuss CTC-DNA and ctDNA combinations as potential predictors of cancer progression, treatment resistance, and relapse
• New Data on the complementary nature of next-generation sequencing of CTC-DNA and ctDNA from a single blood tube
• Potentially enabling longitudinal disease monitoring in real-time to identify mechanisms of resistance in living cancer cells
