Tumors spreading via a patient’s vasculature, is a well-established and simple concept. The biology that drives it however, is complex and dynamic. In order to shift cancer treatment regimens from tumor-reactive to tumor-proactive we must develop increasingly sophisticated tools for analyzing circulating tumor materials, properly dissecting the underlying biological complexity, and intercepting the disease earlier in the transformation process. We will present the use of an emerging microfluidic technology whose negative depletion technology demonstrates the ability to enrich and purify essentially all populations of circulating tumor cells, tumor related cells, as well as harvest plasma for cfDNA and other markers.  Molecular and phenotypic analysis on enriched products will illustrate the ability of the platform to be used for research on non-epithelial tumors and to investigate early disease interception.
