These tumor-derived entities are used to derive genomic and proteomic data. However, Dr. Bahassi reported that the selection of CTCs using this method is often not very efficient and the CTC population is usually highly contaminated with leukocytes.

The controversy continues over profits, privacy of genetic information extracted from the cells and racial inequities in access to research and healthcare. It wasn’t until the early 1970s when large numbers of other cell lines were found to be contaminated with HeLa in some labs that an investigation was launched. Henrietta Lacks.
