Abstract

The detection and characterization of circulating tumor cells (CTC) holds great promise for personalizing medicine and optimizing systemic therapy. However, low specificity, low sensitivity, and the time consuming nature of current approaches have impeded clinical adoption. Here we report a new method using surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to directly measure targeted CTCs in the presence of white blood cells. SERS nanoparticles with epidermal growth factor peptide as a targeting ligand have successfully identified CTCs in the peripheral blood of 19 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN), with a range of 1 to 720 CTCs per milliliter of whole blood. Our technique may provide an important new clinical tool for management of patients with SCCHN and other cancers. Cancer Res; 71(5); 1526–32. ©2011 AACR.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
