Begin the Webcast

This webcast includes an informative didactic presentation on the prognostic significance and predictive value of circulating tumor cells in metastatic breast cancer, followed by engaging clinical cases that illustrate the potential for practical application of circulating tumor cell enumeration.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Review basic concepts in the detection and enumeration of circulating tumor cells in peripheral blood
  • Describe clinical trials that evaluate the prognostic significance of circulating tumor cells in patients with metastatic breast cancer
  • Describe planned studies to elucidate the prognostic significance and predictive value of circulating tumor cells in patients with metastatic breast cancer
