Abstract
There exists an urgent need for minimally invasive molecular analysis tools for cancer assessment and management, particularly in advanced-stage lung cancer, when tissue procurement is challenging and gene mutation profiling is crucial to identify molecularly targeted agents for treatment. High-throughput compartmentalization and multigene profiling of individual CTCs from whole blood samples using modular gene panels may facilitate highly sensitive, yet minimally-invasive characterization of lung cancer for therapy prediction and monitoring. We envision this nano-platform as a compelling research tool to investigate the dynamics of cancer disease processes, as well as a viable clinical platform for minimally-invasive yet comprehensive cancer assessment.
