Detection and clinical importance of circulating tumor cells in solid tumours

The thesis is focused on the detection of circulating tumour cells (CTCs) by different approaches and the clinical importance of their presence in solid tumours, especially in lung, pancreatic and colorectal cancer patients. The main goal is to identify patients with high risk of disease recurrence and in need of adjuvant therapy. The second goal is to participate in the research and development of novel methods of CTCs detection and characterization.

Researcher and postgradual student at the Institute of Molecular and Translational Medicine, Palacký University Olomouc, in the field of experimental and translational medicine. My research is focused on analysis of expression of opioid and cannabinoid receptors in tumor tissue.
