External quality assurance of circulating tumor cell enumeration using the CellSearch® system: A feasibility study

Background: Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are cells that have detached from solid tumors and entered the blood. CTCs can be detected, among others, by semi‐automated immunomagnetic enrichment and image cytometry using CellSearch® (Veridex, Raritan, NJ). We studied the feasibility of external qualit...
