| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are used as a liquid biopsy target in cancer patients. In this study, we sought to develop a novel CTC detection method using quantitative phase microscopy (QPM) and computer vision technologies for pattern recognition based on the morphological features of live cells. We observed white blood cells (WBCs) and cancer cell line cells by QPM without staining, and successfully differentiated WBCs from cell lines. We applied our image recognition methods to the cells flowing in the chamber, and properly differentiated WBCs from cell line cells flowing in the chamber. Finally, cell fractions suspicious of CTCs were detected in blood samples of tumor bearing mice and cancer patients.
