The CellSearch™ CTC Test is a simple blood test that provides1:
 |
An independent predictor of survival
CTCs are proven to be a strong, independent predictor of Overall Survival (OS) and
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
|
 |
Greater insight than standard tests alone
As an adjunct to current standard testing methods, CTC assessment provides a more
complete picture of patient prognosis
|
 |
More informed decisions at any time
Serial monitoring of CTCs can indicate a significant change in prognosis as early
as after the first treatment cycle and at each step of the way
|
 |
When to use the CellSearch™ CTC Test
Order the test prior to initiation of therapy to get CTC baseline, then order repeat
tests at follow-up visits to assess prognosis and to inform patient care decisions.
|
The CellSearch™ CTC Test results should be used in conjunction with all clinical
information derived from diagnostic tests (e.g. imaging or laboratory tests), physical
examination, and complete medical history, in accordance with appropriate management
procedures.
