Identification of Circulating Tumor Cells in the Peripheral Blood of Lung Cancer Patients
Identification of Circulating Tumor Cells in the Peripheral Blood of Lung Cancer Patients (Old Title: Significance of CD44 and or Epithelial Specific Antigen Positive Cells in the Peripheral Blood of Lung Cancer Patients) (LUN0017)

The primary aim of this study is to determine whether we can identify human lung cancer tumor cells in the peripheral blood of lung cancer patients.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether we can identify lung cancer cells circulating in the peripheral blood of lung cancer patients using cell surface markers found on cancer cells such as CD44 and epithelial specific antigen.
