Circulating miRNAs as surrogate markers for circulating tumor cells and prognostic markers in metastatic breast cancer

Purpose: The use of circulating tumor cells (CTC) as a prognostic marker in metastatic breast cancer (MBC) has been well established. However, their efficacy and accuracy are still under scrutiny mainly because of methods of their enrichment and identification. We hypothesized that circulating miRNA...
