The CELLSEARCH® Circulating Tumor Cell Kit is intended for the enumeration of circulating tumor cells (CTC) of epithelial origin (CD45-, EpCAM+, and cytokeratins 8, 18+, and/or 19+) in whole blood.
The presence of CTCs in the peripheral blood, as detected by the CELLSEARCH® CTC Test, is associated with decreased progression-free survival and decreased overall survival in patients treated for metastatic breast, colorectal, or prostate* cancer. The test is to be used as an aid in the monitoring of patients with metastatic breast, colorectal, or prostate cancer. Serial CTC testing should be used in conjunction with other clinical methods for monitoring metastatic breast, colorectal, and prostate cancer. Evaluation of CTCs at any time during the course of disease allows assessment of patient prognosis and is predictive of progression-free survival and overall survival.
CELLSEARCH® CTC Test results should be used in conjunction with all clinical information derived from diagnostic tests (eg, imaging, laboratory tests), physical examination, and complete medical history, in accordance with appropriate management procedure
