Extended Data Fig. 6: Overview of pre- and post-mortem CTC counts in the UTSW prospective cohort patients.

Pie charts showing the relative frequencies of single CTCs and CTC clusters for each patient at pre-mortem and autopsy time points, and for each CTC type at autopsy for the prospective cancer cohort. ‘0’, ‘−1’, ‘−2’, and ‘−3’ refer to the rapid autopsy procedure, closest, second closest, third closest visit before death, respectively. CTCs = circulating tumor cells; IVC = inferior vena cava; SVC = superior vena cava; BC = breast cancer, PDAC = pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma; NSCLC = non-small cell lung cancer; PB = pancreatobiliary cancer; SCLC = small cell lung cancer; CRC = colorectal cancer; PCa = prostate cancer; ESCA = esophageal cancer; RCC = renal cell cancer; MMMT = malignant mixed mesodermal tumor; pPt = prospectively enrolled patient.
