Figure 1From: Detection and characterization of circulating tumor cells in blood of primary breast cancer patients by RT-PCR and comparison to status of bone marrow disseminated cellsExpression of circulating tumor cells and corresponding primary tumors based on receptor status. Expression profile of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and corresponding primary tumors (PTs) in breast cancer patients after stratifying into three different groups based on estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER2) status: ER-positive and/or PR-positive, triple-negative (ER-negative/PR-negative/HER2-negative), and HER2-positive (but ER-negative/PR-negative).Back to article page
