Abnormal cells detected in peripheral blood (PB) of advanced CRC patients. a The clear background of a membrane in the filter after Romanowsky staining. b The spiking HT29 cells captured by the size-based platform for CTC isolation (as indicated by the black arrows). c The capture efficiency of cancer cell linces HT29, SKBR-3 and A549. d The sensitivity of isolating HT29 cells. e, f The single CTC (as indicated by the red arrows) detected in PB. g, h The suspected CTC (as indicated by the yellow arrows) in PB. i, j CTM (as indicated by the red arrows) detected in PB. k Epithelial cells (as indicated by the green arrows) detected in PB. l Endothelial cells (as indicated by the green arrows) detected in PB (a, ×10 magnification; b, c, ×60 magnification; f–m, ×100 magnification)
