The trophoblast theory of cancer (John Beard, 1857-1924) revisited.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have been identified and shown to have prognostic and predictive roles in several types of carcinoma. More recently, aneuploid CTCs have become subject of a growing interest, as aneuploidy is considered a hallmark of cancer often associated with poor prognosis. Here, we aimed t...
