Abstract

Circulating tumor cells' (CTC) biomarkers may become indicators for selection of therapy. The presence of androgen receptor (AR)-variant-positive CTCs may be markers indicating the need for switching therapy. Methods for AR-variant mRNA isolation from CTCs and confirmation of expression are critical factors needed for these techniques to be clinically applicable.See related article by Tagawa et al., p. 1880.
