Comparison of CTC counts between AccuCyte – CyteFinder and CellSearch. 10 paired blood samples from patients with advanced prostate, breast or colorectal (CRC) cancer were processed independently using AccuCyte – CyteFinder or CellSearch systems to identify CTCs. In 3 samples counts equivalent (samples 1,3 and 4), in 3 samples AccuCyte – CyteFinder identified appreciably more CTCs than CellSearch (samples 2, 5 and 9), and in the remaining 4 samples numbers were very low by each method (3 CTCs or less).
