Circulating tumor cells: a new challenge for laboratory medicine

Abstract: Extrêmement rares (1 sur 10 6 à 10 7 cellules sanguines nucléées), les cellules tumorales circulantes (CTC) sont retrouvées dans les formes localisées et métastatiques de pratiquement tous les adénocarcinomes. Ce sont des cellules épithéliales dont certaines semblent avoir subi une transition épithéliomésenchymateuse au moins partielle ayant favorisé leur libération à partir de la tumeur d'origine. Leur capacité pro-macrométastatique fait encore débat d'autant qu'elles représentent des populations phénotypique… Show more

“…Aside from conventional treatment, in particular, chemotherapy (5-Fluorouracil, Oxaliplatin, Irinotecan and Capecitabine), many new targeted agents are also available for metastatic CRC (mCRC), including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-targeted therapy (Bevacizumab) and anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-targeted therapy (Cetuximab and Panitumumab) (Riihimäki et al, 2016;Burz et al, 2018). Nevertheless, metastasis remains a challenge in treating CRC, and among the main reasons are mostly attributable to intratumoral heterogeneity (ITH) and the presence of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) (Worthley and Leggett, 2010;Séronie-Vivien, 2014).…”

“…By manipulating the immune pathways, down regulation of Ki-67, c-myc, β-catenin and over expression of CD47, CTCs seem to enhance the metastatic cascade and survive in the blood stream in a state of dormancy [ 27 ]. Their genetic profile appears to be altered, as their molecular characteristics were more concordant to metastases, than to the primary tumor [ 28 , 29 ].…”
