Use of circulating tumor cells and microemboli to predict diagnosis and prognosis in diffuse glioma

CONCLUSIONS: The authors revealed a correlation between CTCs and clinical characteristics and demonstrated that CTCs and CTMs are independent predictors for the diagnosis and prognosis of diffuse glioma. Their CTC- and CTM-based survival models can enable clinicians to evaluate patients' response to surgery as well as their outcomes.PMID:38608304 | DOI:10.3171/2024.1.JNS232020
