#1364 Clinical Utility of EpCAM-positive Circulating Tumor Cells in Neuroendocrine Neoplasms Using the CellSearch Platform

Introduction: Circulating tumor cells are captured to predict the prognosis of patients in many types of cancers, but reports are rare on clinical utility and tumor cell shedding in neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs).

#922 Comparison of the Novel Cell Detector Method with Cell Search Technology in the Isolation of Circulating Tumor Cells in Neuroendocrine Tumors

Introduction: Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) have been detected in patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NET) using the CellSearch platform. Their presence is associated with a worse clinical outcome but less than 50% patients have detectable cells. The GILUPI Cell Detector is an EpCAM coated wire that is inserted into a vein and has been developed to increase capture of CTCs.
