Summary

This study tested a new 3-D cell culture method to isolate and grow circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from blood samples of 160 people, including cancer patients and healthy volunteers. The goal was to see if this method could produce enough cells for research, such as studying how cancer spreads or testing chemotherapy drugs. The study did not provide treatment, but aimed to improve tools for future cancer care.
