flag A new blood test detected tumor cells and vesicles in most glioblastoma patients, offering a promising non-invasive monitoring tool.

flag A new study presented at the 7th Advances in Circulating Tumour Cells meeting shows ANGLE’s Parsortix® system detected circulating tumour cells (CTCs) in 60% of newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients, with CTC clusters found in 78% of positive cases. flag All CTCs showed a mesenchymal phenotype, a trait often missed by standard methods. flag Extracellular vesicles were detected in 73% of patients, supporting liquid biopsy potential. flag The technology enables simultaneous isolation of CTCs and EVs from a single blood draw, offering a minimally invasive way to monitor tumour biology and treatment response—especially valuable since ctDNA is rarely detected in glioma due to the blood-brain barrier. flag The research is for non-diagnostic use and requires further validation.
