Clinical Significance of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) and Survivin on Predicting Prognosis in Thyroid Cancer Patients

<div>Images of CTCs. Upper, middle, and lower panels show the pictures of epithelial, mesenchymal, and mixed CTCs, respectively. Epithelial CTCs were stained with only Alexa Fluor 594-labeled epithelial markers EpCAM and CK8/18/19. Mesenchymal CTCs were stained with Alexa Fluor 488-labeled Vimentin and Twist. Pictures were taken with 40x magnification with a immunofluorescence microscope.</div>
