A novel circulating tumor cell subpopulation for treatment monitoring and molecular characterization in biliary tract cancer

In biliary tract cancer (BTC), tissue biopsies to guide treatment are rarely feasible, thus implementing liquid biopsy approaches to improve patient management represents a priority. So far, studies on circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in BTC are insufficient to promote their use in patient clinical management and are limited to EpCAM‐enriched CTCs evaluated with the CellSearch. We applied a single‐cell protocol allowing identification not only of...
