Circulating Tumor Cell (CTC) Automated Testing System and Services

Blood collection takes about three minutes. The test provides supplementary information for cancer-risk assessment and follow-up.

Good Future specializes in CTC testing, combining a 2 mL blood sample with negative-selection technology, cellular imaging, and structured reporting. Our proprietary negative-selection technology preserves a broader range of CTC phenotypes, helping provide more complete results and useful information for interpretation. The findings may also serve as a reference for ongoing health monitoring, risk assessment, and consultation with a physician.

Key Differentiators

What makes Good Future different

Understand the service features that distinguish Good Future’s CTC testing approach.

Differentiator 01

Negative selection workflow

Removes normal blood cells first and preserves more clinically meaningful CTC phenotypes.

Differentiator 02

Epithelial + mesenchymal testing

Supports review of both epithelial and mesenchymal phenotypes instead of relying on a single signal.

Differentiator 03

Image-supported reporting

Reports include image evidence and interpretation details alongside summary results.

Differentiator 04

Support for follow-up use

Designed to support longitudinal follow-up, molecular testing, and research applications.

Who Is This Test For

Who may benefit from CTC testing?

CTC testing may be considered based on risk profile, suspicious findings, or follow-up needs.
