Nanoroughened adhesion-based capture of circulating tumor cells with heterogeneous expression and metastatic characteristics

Table 2 Capture of CTCs from metastatic and non-metastatic syngeneic mouse models of lung cancer

Group	Sample	End tumor volume (mm³)	Collected blood volume (μL)	Captured CTCs (CTCs/100 μL)
Metastasis-Prone (344SQ)	#1	179	500	84
	#2	144	500	28
	#3	1470	350	336
	#4	503.5	500	84
	#5	988	500	1148
Metastasis-Incompetent (393P)	#6	15.8	400	28
	#7	40	350	112
	#8	No tumor	500	0
	#9	No tumor	600	0

The metastasis-prone 344SQ or metastasis-incompetent 393P lung cancer cell lines were subcutaneously implanted into mice that were sacrificed 6 weeks after implantation with blood collected for circulating tumor cell quantification
