Kaplan–Meier curve of overall survival of patients with EpCAM^high CTC from CellSearch (A), EpCAM^low CTC from microsieves (B) show a strong correlation between EpCAM^high CTC and survival, but no correlation between EpCAM^low CTC and survival. Scatter plot of survival versus the amount of EpCAM^high CTC (n = 83) visualizes the expected trend that most patients with high number of CTC have a short survival (C), whereas the amount EpCAM^low CTC in patients (n = 73) show no such trend (D).
