Y. H. Xu, Zhou, J., and Pan, X. F., Detecting circulating tumor cells in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer, vol. 14, pp. 10352-10358, 2015.

We explored the expression and clinical significance of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Sixty-six patients with advanced NSCLC at the Oncology Department of Jinzhou Hospital were selected as an observation group between February and December 2013. Healthy volunteers and 20 benign lung disease patients were taken as a control group. Peripheral blood CTCs in the observation and control groups were detected using the CellSearch®.
