Background The translational study CITUCEL aims to correlate the presence of CTCs and ctDNA at different time points with the clinical outcome of BC patients in neo-adjuvant, adjuvant or advanced setting and to compare the mutational profiles of the primary tumor, CTCs and ctDNA in the different settings. Methods CTCs have been characterized and isolated single or in pool with the DEPArray system, after immunologic negative enrichment with antibodies coupled to magnetic beads against common leukocytes and red blood cells antigens, followed by cells labelling with specific antibody for ep

Abstract:

Introduction There is now a growing body of work being conducted in the field of liquid biopsies. A liquid biopsy is a technique to look for biomarkers, arising from cancer, within the blood stream which are accessed in a non-invasive manner. These may include circulating tumour cells (CTCs), circulating tumour DNA, circulating RNA or exosomes. Osteosarcoma is the most common bony malignancy of the paediatric population. Metastatic disease has a poor prognosis with a 20-30% survival. The number of tumour cells present at distant sites when identified by traditional radiological and clini

Abstract:

Neuroendocrine tumours(NETs) are heterogeneous with respect to biological behavior. Consequently, prognosis is variable and biomarkers predicting survival or tumour progression are required to inform clinical management. The best available biomarker, histological grade, is assigned using Ki-67 or mitotic count. Agreement between these two indices is implied but analysis of 131 pancreatic and 136 midgut NETs suggested discordances of 44% and 38% respectively. Ki-67 was the superior prognostic marker, making the additional value of mitotic count questionable. Detection of Circulating Tumour Cell

Metastasis in head and neck cancer patients is responsible for over 50% of deaths. There are currently no tools to identify patients at risk of developing metastasis.

Furthermore, the researcher identified biomarkers present on CTCs which could select patients for immunotherapies, a current unmet need. This work sets the foundation for a personaliz

Abstract:

Lung cancer is among the most prevalent forms of cancer and remains the leading cause of cancer-associated deaths globally. Traditionally, lung cancers are classified as either non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (85%) or small cell lung cancer (SCLC) (15%). About 60% of all cases are diagnosed at an advanced stage, at which the 5-year survival is only 4%. Anti-programmed cell death-1 and its ligand 1 (anti-PD-1/PD-L1) therapies have significantly improved the outcomes for lung cancer patients in recent years.

Abstract:

Over the decades, it has been considered that blood-based biopsy or liquid biopsy could be an alternative approach of tumour biopsy. To date, blood-based biomarkers such as circulating tumour cell (CTC) and circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) have been widely studied and found their significance in patients with several carcinomas including colorectal carcinoma (CRC). Biologically, both CTC and cell-free DNA (cfDNA) have been released from the tumour and circulate freely in the blood. Although they are present in trivial quantity due to minute scale of discharge and rapid clearance from the blood,

Although melanoma is largely curable when detected in its earliest stages, it can metastasise to other tissues, drastically reducing survival rates.

New prognostic markers are urgently required to allow monitoring of treatment response and disease progression.

Brain metastasis is a frequent occurrence in cancer patients and carries a high mortality rate. The incidence of brain metastasis is on the rise, highlighting the need for improved therapeutic intervention. Immune cells have been shown to promote disseminated tumour cells to colonise the lung and liver. Therefore, we aim to determine whether immune cells also facilitate brain metastasis by describing the host immune response to tumour cells attached to the brain vasculature. We developed a model of brain metastasis by using ultrasound guidance to perform intracardiac injection of tumour cells.

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world. It is therefore critically important to detect cancer in its early stage to significantly increase the survival rate of cancer patients. Circulating tumour cells (CTCs) are cancer cells that peel off from primary tumour and enter bloodstream in early stage of a cancer, and thus it has been established that these CTCs are reliable targets for early cancer diagnosis. However, background signal reduction and optimization of CTC capturing mechanisms are still significant challenges in CTC detections with high sensitivities and accuracies. T

Abstract:

This thesis has demonstrated the various applications for antibody-based CTC capture, extending beyond conventional methods. We reported the inclusion of EMT-markers for detection and characterisation of EMT-CTCs in the ovarian cancer setting. This methodological advancement may prove a critical step in understanding the role EMT plays in CTC formation, metastasis and potentially therapeutic resistance. In addition, we explored integration of electron microscopy methods into CTC sample processing, allowing for ultrastructure analysis of CTCs and improving the tools to help understand CTC biolo

Abstract:

Prostate cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in men worldwide. Because prognosis can vary depending on tumour stage, precise diagnosis is vital. Circulating tumour cells (CTC) detach from primary and secondary tumour sites into the bloodstream. Changes in three-dimensional (3D) nuclear organization are associated with different types of cancer and were examined in this study in CTCs of high-risk prostate cancer patients. CTCs were isolated from 3mL of patient blood samples of 20 high-risk prostate cancer patients before treatment; after neoadjuvant androgen deprivation ther

Trabalho Final do Curso de Mestrado Integrado em Medicina, Faculdade de Medicina, Universidade de Lisboa, 2019<br>Mundialmente, o cancro da mama (CM) é considerado o cancro mais diagnosticado e mortal, sendo a maioria desta mortalidade resultado de doença metastática. Para combater este problema global, é essencial reforçar os programas de prevenção, diagnóstico e tratamento. As células tumorais circulantes (CTC) têm sido propostas como uma possível abordagem para retratar a heterogeneidade e dinâmica do CM, contribuindo para uma gestão do doente mais personalizada e holística. As CTC são célu

Abstract:

Dissertação de Mestrado em Biotecnologia Farmacêutica apresentada à Faculdade de Farmácia<br>O cancro colorretal (CCR) é o terceiro cancro mais incidente e o segundo com maior taxa de mortalidade a nível mundial. A principal causa de morte nestes doentes continua a ser a metastização, cerca de 60% dos mesmos são diagnosticados numa fase mais avançada da doença (fase III e IV). Há, por essa razão, uma necessidade urgente no desenvolvimento de estratégias que permitam o diagnóstico precoce e monitorização da doença metastática em CCR. Nesta perspetiva, as células tumorais circulantes (CTCs), lib
