Objectives: Tumor angiogenesis is controlled by inhibitors and angiogenic factors. However, circulating endothelial cells (CECs) and microparticles (MPs) may be related to tumor angiogenesis in malignant tumors. We therefore investigated the significance of CECs and MPs variation for the prediction of treatment efficacy and
prognosis in patients with extensive small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). Materials and methods: Isolation and quantification of CECs from the whole-blood was performed using immune magnetic separation (IMS) technique, while flow cytometry measurement (FCM) was used for enumerating MPs in plasma samples.
Results: Twenty-six patients were included in this prospective study. The relative change in CEC and MP counts after treatment,... view moreĀ»
