    Word of the Day

    Circulating tumor cells (CTC)

    Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are cancer cells that have detached from the primary tumor and entered the bloodstream. They can travel through the bloodstream to other parts of the body and potentially form new tumors, a process known as metastasis. CTCs can be detected and analyzed through a blood test, providing valuable information about the presence and characteristics of cancer cells in the body. This information can help guide treatment decisions and monitor the effectiveness of therapies.
