Prognostic Implications of Portal Venous Circulating Tumor Cells in Resectable Pancreatic Cancer

Young Hoon Choi et al.

Summary: Portal venous circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can serve as a biomarker for early recurrence and poor prognosis in patients with resectable pancreatic cancer. The number of CTCs is associated with stage and regional lymph node metastasis, and low portal venous CTCs are associated with better overall and recurrence-free survival.

Circulating tumor cells detected in follow-up predict survival outcomes in tri-modality management of advanced non-metastatic esophageal cancer: a secondary analysis of the QUINTETT randomized trial

Edward Yu et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between the presence of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and prognosis in patients with non-metastatic esophageal cancer undergoing tri-modality therapy. The results showed that the presence of CTCs was significantly associated with worse disease-free survival, regional control, distant control, and overall survival.

The Value of Circulating Tumor Cells in the Prognosis and Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer

Kai Luo et al.

Summary: In the past few decades, there have been developments in tumor diagnosis and treatment theory. However, pancreatic cancer mortality is increasing while the mortality rate of other common tumors is decreasing. Traditional imaging methods and biomarkers lack sensitivity and specificity for early micrometastasis detection. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have emerged as a non-invasive and real-time liquid biopsy technique with potential for analyzing tumor characteristics and serving as an independent prognostic factor.

Measurement of Portal Vein Blood Circulating Tumor Cells is Safe and May Correlate With Outcomes in Resected Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

Michael G. White et al.

Summary: This study investigated the safety and feasibility of intraoperative portal vein blood (PVB) collection during pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) resection. PVB circulating tumor cell (CTC) counts were significantly correlated with overall survival (OS), providing a potential new avenue for future research and clinical treatment.

Liquid biopsy enters the clinic - implementation issues and future challenges

Michail Ignatiadis et al.

Summary: The approval of liquid biopsy assays for detecting genetic alterations in plasma cell-free DNA has marked a tipping point for the clinical use of this technology, especially in patients with advanced-stage cancer. The next frontier is likely to be the systemic treatment of patients with 'ctDNA relapse' and other potential future applications include cancer screening and diagnosis.

Characterisation of circulating tumour cell phenotypes identifies a partial-EMT sub-population for clinical stratification of pancreatic cancer

Alexander Semaan et al.

Summary: DEP-FFF was used to isolate CTCs in PDAC patients, revealing four distinct sub-populations including pEMT-CTCs, which were correlated with disease progression, survival, and recurrence. This highlights the importance of immunophenotyping and quantifying specific CTC sub-populations in PDAC.

Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Acquisition of Portal Venous Circulating Tumor Cells as a Potential Diagnostic and Prognostic Tool for Pancreatic Cancer

Yixuan Zhang et al.

Summary: The use of EUS-guided PoV CTCs in diagnosing and predicting the prognosis of pancreatic cancer shows promising potential, especially when combined with CA19-9. The quantity of PoV CTCs is positively correlated with tumor burden, and high PoV CTC and M-CTC numbers are associated with shorter overall survival.

Portal Venous Circulating Tumor Cells Undergoing Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition Exhibit Distinct Clinical Significance in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

Yujin Pan et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the preferability of portal venous for CTC testing and the association of high PoV M-CTC count with increased risk of metastasis and shorter survival time in resectable PDAC patients. PoV CTC phenotype detection shows potential as a reliable and accurate tool for identifying high-risk PDAC patients for better management strategies.

Early screening and diagnosis strategies of pancreatic cancer: a comprehensive review

Jinshou Yang et al.

Summary: Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant tumor with poor prognosis, often diagnosed at advanced stages due to lack of early symptoms. Early diagnosis through screening and understanding risk factors is crucial. Current biomarkers like CA19-9 have limited specificity, driving research towards discovering novel biomarkers and utilizing innovative technologies for improved detection.
