Current Revisit Functions of Magnetic Nanoparticles in the Separation of Circulating Tumour Cells (CTCs) from Non-CTCs
Author(s): Chawpon Chung*
Circulating Tumour Cells (CTCs) play a pivotal role in cancer metastasis, and their isolation and analysis hold immense promise for cancer
diagnosis and treatment. Magnetic nanoparticles have emerged as a powerful tool for the selective separation of CTCs from non-CTCs, owing
to their unique properties. This article reviews the current state of research on the applications of magnetic nanoparticles in CTC separation,
emphasizing the various strategies, challenges, and future prospects in this dynamic field. Cancer remains a global health challenge, and one of
its deadliest aspects is metastasis. The early detection and isolation of Circulating Tumour Cells (CTCs) have the potential to transform cancer
diagnosis, monitoring, and therapy. CTCs are cancer cells that have shed from the primary tumor and entered the bloodstream, serving as potential
indicators of ca.. Read More»
