About this trial
A prospective, proof-of-concept pilot study in patients with metastatic cancers (9 types of cancers are studied) treated at the IUCT-O or possibly in other institutions. Eligible patients will be selected and informed of this study during a medical consultation for their cancer by medical oncologists. Then, with the patient's consent and before the start of anti-cancer treatment (whatever the line), a blood sample will be taken to detect DP-circulating cells by 2 different methods of analysis.
Each patient will participate in the study for one day. The methods of analysis will be: flow cytometry for all patients and either Parsotix® or CellSearch® depending on the type of cancer.
450 patients will be enrolled in total.
