Circulating Tumor Cells as a Novel Prostate Cancer Diagnostic Tool
The current screening test for prostate cancer (PCa) has the weak point of a high false-negative rate and a low true positive rate. There is an extreme need for a new and accurate testing system. Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) as the main liquid biopsy components provide excellent biomarkers for ear...
