PDF-Revolutionizing Cancer Detection: Trends in the Circulating Tumor Cell Market

The market for circulating tumour cells is primarily driven by the rising understanding of brtheir diagnostic and clinical utility which has prompted an increase in circulating tumour cell research in bran effort to develop efficient diagnostic tools.
