BRIEF REPORT
Resting and activated endothelial cells are increased in the
peripheral blood of cancer patients

of Oncology, Milan, Italy.
Circulating endothelial cells (CECs) were enumerated in 20 healthy
controls and 76 newly diagnosed cancer patients by means of 4-color
flow cytometry. In breast cancer (n = 46) and lymphoma (n = 30)
patients, both resting and activated CECs were increased by 5-fold
(P < .0008 vs control). CECs significantly correlated with plasma levels of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 and vascular endothelial growth factor. Resting and activated CECs were similar to
healthy controls in 7 lymphoma patients achieving complete remission
after chemotherapy, and activated CECs were found to decrease in 13 breast cancer patients evaluated before and 24 hours after quadrantectomy.
