Trial Information

Identification of Circulating Tumor Cells in the Peripheral Blood of Lung Cancer Patients (Old Title: Significance of CD44 and or Epithelial Specific Antigen Positive Cells in the Peripheral Blood of Lung Cancer Patients) (LUN0017)


The purpose of this study is to determine whether we can identify lung cancer cells
circulating in the peripheral blood of lung cancer patients using cell surface markers found
on cancer cells such as CD44 and epithelial specific antigen.
