Abstract

Circulating endothelial cells (CECs) are shed from vessels and enter the circulation reflecting endothelial damage. Increased numbers of CECs have been documented in cancer, and appear to correlate with progression of the tumor. Bevacizumab (B) in combination with CT improves progression-free survival (PFS) of first-line treatments and may modify tumor cell intravasation and CEC/CTC levels.
