title = "Verifast: An integrated system for flexible CTC isolation and analysis",
abstract = "Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are rare cellular events that are relevant as a prognostic for many epithelial origin cancers. CTCs offer a unique insight into the metastatic cascade and are accessible by a simple blood draw. Here, we demonstrate a method for high efficiency and purity CTC isolation that leaves these cells accessible for downstream analysis in order to study this highly relevant tumor cell population for targets or responses to cancer therapies. We present the VerIFAST, a method and device incorporating all facets of CTC analysis from isolation to enumeration and intracellular staining.",
