Adaptation of Semiautomated Circulating Tumor Cell (CTC) Assays for Clinical and Preclinical Research Applications
Published on: February 28, 2014
Abstract:
The Cancer Control Program (CCP) was established by Congress to develop and to implement a coordinated national effort to reduce cancer incidence, morbidity, and mortality in the United States. The program helps ensure that existing knowledge concerning cancer in prevention, detection, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation will be disseminated and applied as rapidly and effectively as possible. The program utilizes both contracts and, to a more limited extent, grants. Program objectives and specific projects have been delineated.
