The study being conducted by the Research team at NIIM uses Circulating-Tumour-Cells (CTC) to provide a biomarker for early carcinogenesis, cancer progression and treatment effectiveness. The screening is completed using a blood sample and the ‘number of CTC’ or ‘CTC count’ indicates the risk of malignancy or the stage of cancer.

Early results of the study were published in Frontiers of Oncology 2020.

The study is ongoing, visit here for more information.
