Abstract
The technology described herein relates to methods of detecting circulating tumor cells (CTCs), e.g. by detecting changes in the expression of certain CTC marker genes. Aberrant expression of CTC marker genes, e.g. changes in expression indicative of CTCs can also be targeted in order to treat cancer.
