ISET – Isolation by Size of Epithelial Tumor/Trophoblastic cells
Note: ISET products, previously distributed by Metagenex, are now exclusively produced and distributed by Rarecells
An innovative and highly sensitive method allowing :
The isolation of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and circulating tumor microemboli (CTM) from blood
Their diagnostic identification and counting by cytopathological analysis,
Their immunologic and molecular characterization.
For patients :
It has been demonstrated that CTCs circulate months and years before the development of metastases, thus their sensitive and specific detection allows to set up an early treatment to avoid recurrence and metastases.
General invasion scheme :
; "Zoom"){kind=small}
