Mesenchymal marker and LGR5 expression levels in circulating tumor cells correlate with colorectal cancer prognosis

ConclusionsFrom our data we conclude that CTC numbers and EMT phenotypes may serve as prognostic markers for disease progression and metastasis in CRC patients. In addition, we conclude that LGR5 expression in CTCs may serve as a marker for CRC metastasis.
