Objectives: Distant metastases (DM) and/or biochemical persistent disease (BPD) in MTC, adversely affect disease prognosis. Calcitonin and CEA doubling-times (DTs) are the main prognostic indicators for disease progression. Liquid biopsy based on CTCs enrichment and characterization seems to be an intriguing non-invasive tool providing information about tumor biology and molecular identity. The aim of this study was the molecular characterization of CTCs in spMTC patients with...
