Professor Lim Chwee Teck and team developed new techniques of capturing and growing tumor cells ‐ with unprecendented success rate "Being able to capture CTCs and grow them efficiently from a blood sample is a
big step forward in liquid biopsy for tumour diagnosis and cancer treatment
monitoring.
This could potentially mean that biopsy for cancer diagnosis and prognosis
could be done using a blood test, which is minimally invasive, instead of having
to remove cells from the tumour itself. Results of the blood tests could help
doctors assess the best therapy options for a patient, and frequent blood tests
can also be done during the course of an anti-cancer treatment to monitor a
patient's progress during treatment."
