Stanford University Study Shows Early Detection Of Circulating Tumor Cells In Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fluxion Biosciences, Inc. announced the presentation of the first pilot study results aimed at isolating circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients obtained in collaboration with Dr. Max Diehn’s lab at Stanford University. CTCs are cells that disseminate from primary tumors and contribute to the spread of the disease to other parts of the body. They circulate in very low concentration in the peripheral blood and are not readily retrievable with conventional technologies. The IsoFlux System recovers these rare tumor cells from a standard blood draw and prepares them for molecular analysis. The platform offers improved sensitivity of CTC recovery in a low-volume format optimized for analytical platforms.
