Summary:
- This article discusses a new method for detecting and monitoring cancer cells in the blood using a microfluidic device.
- The device is able to capture and analyze circulating tumor cells, which are cancer cells that have broken off from a tumor and are traveling through the bloodstream.
- This technology could help doctors monitor the progression of cancer and the effectiveness of cancer treatments by providing a non-invasive way to track changes in the number and characteristics of cancer cells in the blood.
