\"Andrew<\/p>\n

Congratulations to physician-scientist Dr. Andrew Wang, Associate Professor of Radiation Oncology and a member of the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, for his recent, high profile publication in the journal Clinical Cancer Research.<\/em><\/p>\n

Dr. Wang\u2019s laboratory team, along with colleagues from the University of Wisconsin at Madison, researches circulating tumor cells \u2013 cells that detach from a patient\u2019s main cancerous mass and float freely in their bloodstream. The collection and analysis of these cells can provide clues about any unique biological characteristics of the particular tumor, how well a tumor\u2019s treatment is progressing, or whether a previously-treated cancer is about to return. (The appearance of circulating tumor cells in the blood can also provide an early warning that an initial<\/em> cancer is developing.)<\/p>\n
