Background: The identification and characterization of CTCs as part of a minimally invasive “liquid biopsy” has potential as a real-time biomarker in cancer patients. Using blood samples from NET patients, we evaluate the epitope-independent Parsortix, which enriches CTCs based on size and rigidity, and compare to the EpCAM-dependent CellSearch platform.Methods: About 10 patients with histologically confirmed metastatic NET had synchronous 7.5 ...
