Abstract
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in peripheral blood are implicated in the spread of cancer by metastasis. CTCs are associated with worse survival and have been demonstrated as a prognostic biomarker in various cancer types. We have developed a flexible micro spring array (FMSA) device for antigen-independent viable-enrichment of CTCs from whole blood based on cell size and deformability. CTCs were enriched from twenty blood samples obtained from advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and quantified through immunocytochemical detection. CTC detection was correlated to a significant decrease in patient survival demonstrating the clinical relevance of FMSA-enriched CTCs in NSCLC.
