This is the latest and most up-to-date Market Report from Select Biosciences addressing the circulating tumor cells (CTCs) space. In this report, we focus upon the emerging marketplace for the isolation and study of CTCs, a potentially important tool for cancer diagnostics with special relevance to cancer metastasis and mechanisms thereof.

This report analyzes the CTCs marketplace from a technical as well as market perspective describing the biology of CTCs, methodologies currently in use for the purification and study of CTCs, as well as the market landscape for CTCs.

This is the first report in its class providing a technical as well as a market analysis of CTCs. Data in this report includes a primary market survey performed in May 2011 describing the research trends currently in the CTCs space including:

• Surface markers currently used to identify/purify CTCs
• Top Cancer Classes where CTCs are being studied
• Breakout of the Marketplace vis-à-vis Technologies/Approaches for Study of CTCs
• Quantitative Market Metrics for CTCs Space: Market Size, Growth Rate

This data-driven characterization of the CTCs landscape is a hands-on document that can be used for competitive benchmarking, business planning, and strategy development—all the data that have been collected in this industry analysis are presented and they form the basis for the conclusions drawn throughout the market report presented in a format enabling "drag-and-drop" into business presentations/business plans.
