Deep-Learning Holography Detects Elusive Circulating Tumor Cells in Prostate Cancer

Researchers combined microfluidic enrichment, AI-assisted holography, and fluorescence profiling to identify circulating tumor cell candidates in 13 men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and 8 healthy donors. The platform found higher median candidate counts in patients, while nearly two-thirds of PSMA-positive candidates lacked EpCAM, suggesting EpCAM-dependent assays could miss some cells.
