Technology
The first microtechnological 3D trap capable of accelerating cancer characterization
SmartCatch is lifting the current locks on CTC liquid biopsy by developing a range of compact, portable, easy-to-use products adapted to use in clinical routine, in order to make CTC liquid biopsy accessible and the essential medical procedure for the diagnosis, follow-up and personalization of care in medical oncology.
Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC) can be found in the blood of every cancer patient
Circulatingtumor cells (CTC) are cancer cells that have escaped from a tumor and migrated through different biofluids in the human body . They therefore carry key information about the presence, nature, and aggressiveness of solidtumors. Analysing them offers vital insights into genetics, immune evasion mechanisms, andmolecular pathways. This data helps oncologists in refining cancer diagnosis, prognosis, tailoring individualized therapies, and closely monitoring disease progression and treatment effectiveness.
THE BIOLOGY OF CTC
Microtechnologies as a tool for precision medicine
Microtechnologies encompasses the scope of new materials, structures with ultimate resolution, and sensors with ultimate sensitivity, where the micron-scale achieved by these cutting-edge technologies meets the scale of CTC.
