EPCAM and breast carcinoma: Figure 4 shows that in one breast cancer patient, 25 CTCs were detected (all single CTCs) in one tube of the blood using anti-CK microbeads and 30 CTCs were detected (28 single CTCs plus one two-CTC cluster) in another tube of the same patient's blood using the combination of anti-CK and anti-EpCAM antibodies microbeads (Figures 4(a), (b), (c)).
