EpCAM expression and epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity of CTCs. CTCs that undergo EMT obtain an intermediate phenotype and often continue to express EpCAM. Indeed, the downregulation of EpCAM expression, if initiated, is rarely complete during the EMT in CTCs. EMT, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition; MET, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition.
