This is the most intriguing paragraph to me:

"CK-19 mRNA in CTCs was detected in 41% of the patients prior to the start of adjuvant chemotherapy and in 32.7% upon completion of such therapy. Among the 258 patients initially testing negative for CK-19 mRNA prior to chemotherapy, 21.7% tested positive at completion. Among the 179 patients initially testing positive for CK-19 mRNA prior to chemotherapy, 51.4% tested negative at completion." (emphasis mine)

Can't this also mean the treatment itself made them worse, not better?
