Combined ctDNA and PD-L1 CTC testing improves lung cancer monitoring and response. Publications | June 3, 2025 Quadrant of co-occurrence of circulating tumor DNA and PD-L1 expression on circulating tumor cells in monitoring disease aggressiveness and metastasis in lung cancer. Combined ctDNA and PD-L1–positive CTC analysis improves monitoring of metastasis, minimal residual disease, and treatment response in lung cancer. Background Liquid biopsies analyzing circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and circulating tumor cells (CTCs) enable minimally invasive monitoring and testing of lung cancer across different stages. Approximately 90% of patients succumb due to metastasis. However, identifying patients with early metastatic signatures remains extremely challenging. In addition, monitoring minimal residual disease (MRD) and identifying patients at risk of recurrence is highly important. While the prognostic role of CTCs in predicting survival has been established in several cancers, the combined role of CTCs and ctDNA in monitoring disease aggressiveness, treatment response, and therapeutic decision-making has not been extensively explored. In this study, we investigated the combined roles of ctDNA and CTCs in monitoring disease aggressiveness and metastasis in lung cancer patients. Methods A cohort of 265 late-stage lung cancer patients was retrospectively analyzed for the co-occurrence of the dual biomarkers ctDNA and CTCs. The results were correlated in a quadrant-based model to assess clinical disease states derived from PET scans and histopathological examination (HPE) findings. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was performed using the OncoMonitor dual biomarker assay, which includes CTC enumeration with PD-L1 expression analysis. CTC counts were determined using the OncoDiscover Liquid Biopsy Test, approved by CDSCO-India, from 1.5 mL of blood. Results CTC distribution ranged from 1 to 8 cells, with a mean value of 1.22. Among the patients, 75.47% (n = 200) were CTC-positive, and among these, 91.50% (n = 183) exhibited PD-L1 expression on their CTCs, with a mean PD-L1–positive CTC value of 0.99. Both biomarkers were positive (ctDNA⁺/CTC⁺) in 135 patients (50.94%). Only 19 patients (7.17%) were negative for both biomarkers (ctDNA⁻/CTC⁻). Additionally, 43 patients (16.23%) were ctDNA⁺/CTC⁻, while 68 patients (25.66%) were ctDNA⁻/CTC⁺. The ctDNA⁺/CTC⁻ cohort exhibited the highest metastatic rate at 62.8%, followed by the ctDNA⁺/CTC⁺ group at 57.0%. The ctDNA-positive cohort showed the highest proportion of progressive disease (20.2% and 18.6% in CTC⁺ and CTC⁻ subgroups, respectively). Mutations in EGFR, TP53, and KRAS were observed in 62.64% (166/265) of patients. Stable disease was observed in 29.4% of patients when both biomarkers were absent (ctDNA⁻/CTC⁻). Conclusions Overall, the ctDNA-positive cohort demonstrated higher rates of MRD, disease progression, and metastasis, with no cases of stable disease. The combined quadrant analysis of CTC-PD-L1 cells and ctDNA provides a non-invasive approach for monitoring disease progression, treatment response, complete remission, and early metastatic detection in lung cancer patients.

N-Cadherin CTC capture identifies EMT-CTCs linked to metastasis and treatment resistance. Publications | August 30, 2026 Capture of Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transitioning Circulating Tumor Cells using Affinity Based N-Cadherin System A study demonstrating N-Cadherin affinity-based capture of EMT-associated CTCs in diverse cancers, with Vimentin-positive CTC detection in 90% of samples and N-Cadherin expression revealing heterogeneous metastatic phenotypes. Introduction: Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) enables tumour cells to lose epithelial characteristics, acquire enhanced motility and aggressive invasiveness, and activate metastatic dissemination. Circulating tumour cells (CTCs) undergoing true EMT possess greater metastatic potential than purely epithelial CTCs because they exhibit increased survival in the bloodstream, immune evasion, and the ability to colonise distant organs. Thus, detection and characterization of EMT-CTCs provide clinically valuable insights into metastatic risk, disease progression, and treatment resistance beyond conventional epithelial CTC enumeration. Here, we report an N-Cadherin affinity-based ligand CTC-capture platform for capturing CTCs demonstrating varied EMT-CTC phenotypes. Methods: Retrospectively, we analyzed blood samples from 30 cancer patients, including colorectal cancer stages I–IV (n=9), breast/TNBC (n=7), advanced lung adenocarcinoma (n=2), pancreatic cancer, anaplastic thyroid cancer, endometrial cancer, head and neck cancer, melanoma, and others. The cohort comprised 18 female and 12 male patients aged 19–84 years. We first validated Vimentin-positive MCF-7 cells using the OncoMetastat platform containing N-Cadherin glass beads for cellular localization. CTCs were captured using N-Cadherin glass beads from 1.5 mL of blood and subsequently confirmed based on Vimentin+, DAPI+, N-Cadherin+, and CD45− expression using a Nikon Ti-2 fluorescence microscope. Results: Vimentin-positive CTCs were detected in 27/30 (90%) cancer patient blood samples. A total of 42 CTCs were captured, with a mean distribution of approximately 1.4 CTCs per sample and a range of 1–3 CTCs. Among the isolated CTCs, 13/42 (30.9%) expressed cellular N-Cadherin. Importantly, N-Cadherin expression was observed in 5/10 (50%) colorectal cancer (CRC) samples and 3/7 (42.8%) breast cancer samples. In six patients, intra-CTC heterogeneity was observed, with both N-Cadherin-positive and N-Cadherin-negative CTCs. The MCF-7 cell study demonstrated >90% cell capture using the N-Cadherin affinity platform, with Vimentin localization. Conclusion: We demonstrate the capture of true epithelial-to-mesenchymal transitioning CTCs using an affinity-based N-Cadherin system in cancer patients. Further studies are required to investigate comparative CTC detection using anti-EpCAM antibodies and N-Cadherin, as well as their association with clinical outcomes.
