Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC) Test. How to understand results?

Hi Ina,
Testing circulating tumor cells (CTCs) or liquid biopsies do hold promise for the individualized management of cancer. You may have already read these articles online, but these help explain how they might be used.
- The Prognostic Role of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) in Lung Cancer https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6102369/
- Liquid biopsies: detecting and treating cancer sooner https://individualizedmedicineblog.mayoclinic.org/2017/10/03/liquid-biopsies-detecting-and-treating-cancer-sooner/
From what I could find online, there is only one FDA-approved circulating tumor cell test available at this time for breast, prostate and colorectal cancers.
What is the antiblastic therapy that is being recommended for your father?

@colleenyoung we just found out that the doctor is recommending Personalized vaccines for cancer immunotherapy. Have you heard success stories? Are there any risks? Thanks

Collen thanks. The results are not in English so its hard to translate. I see that they used antiCD-45 with Cellsearch system. Is it the one that is approved here? Dont know about the antiblastic therapy yet. When i find out will let you know.
