CD26-positive/CD326-negative circulating cancer cells as prognostic markers for colorectal cancer recurrence
The present study evaluated the presence and clinical relevance of a cluster of differentiation (CD)26+/CD326− subset of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in pre- and post-operative blood samples of colorectal cancer patients, who had undergone curative or palliative intervention, in order to find a no...

The present study evaluated the presence and clinical relevance of a cluster of differentiation (CD)26+/CD326− subset of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in pre- and post-operative blood samples of colorectal cancer patients, who had undergone curative or palliative intervention, in order to find a novel prognostic factor for patient management and follow-up. In total, 80 colorectal cancer patients, along with 25 healthy volunteers were included. The easily transferable methodology of flow cytometry, along with multiparametric antibody staining were used to selectively evaluate CD26+/CD326− CTCs in the peripheral blood samples of colorectal cancer patients. The multiparametric selection allowed any enrichment methods to be avoided thus rendering the whole procedure suitable for clinical routine. The presence of CD26+/CD326− cells was higher in advanced Dukes’ stages and was significantly associated with poor survival and high recurrence rates.
