Table 2 Single cell mutation analysis of DTCs or primary or metastatic tumor cells

From: Single cell mutational analysis of PIK3CA in circulating tumor cells and metastases in breast cancer reveals heterogeneity, discordance, and mutation persistence in cultured disseminated tumor cells from bone marrow

  1. DTCs disseminated tumor cells from bone marrow, TCs tumor cells from primary or metastatic tumors;
  2. LN lymph node, L2 second lumbar vertebra, Bx biopsy, ND not determined.
  3. *DTCs or TCs not analyzed for mutations were used for immunostaining or other molecular assays.
