Detection of circulating tumour cells before and following adjuvant chemotherapy and long-term prognosis of early breast cancer

Alexios Matikas et al.

Summary: This study found that baseline CTC positivity is associated with shorter overall survival in breast cancer patients. CTC positivity predicts early recurrence but not late recurrence. Following adjuvant chemotherapy, more patients convert from CTC-positive to CTC-negative. CTC status at follow-up predicts disease recurrence.
