Cytopathological Study of the Circulating Tumor Cells filtered from the Cancer Patients’ Blood using Hydrogel-based Cell Block Formation

Abstract Circulating tumor cells have emerged as biomarkers for estimating the tumor burden and metastatic potential of cancer patients. However, to date, most of studies and applications of circulating tumor cells have been conducted and applied to epithelial cancers such as breast, colorectal, and...
