Many technologies have been developed for the application of circulating tumor cells, including techniques for isolation, enumeration, characterization, propagation and genomic profiling. However, as yet there is only one approved technology for clinical use. This year’s Sixth Annual Circulating Tumor Cells conference will delve into new insights in the field of circulating tumor cell research and clinical application by investigating key challenges for advancement into the clinic. The visionary faculty will look at comparisons of technical progress and advancement for a range of circulating biomarkers including cell-free DNA, exosomes and extracellular vesicles and illuminate strategies for moving them into clinical use.
