Growing evidences for tumor heterogeneity confirm that single-tumor biopsies frequently fail to reveal the widespread mutagenic profile of tumor. Repeated biopsies are in most cases unfeasible, especially in advanced cancers. We describe here how circulating tumor cells (CTCs) isolated from minimall...
