2 Fig. 1 Kaplan-Meier plots of (A) recurrence-free, (B) cancer-specific, and (C) overall survival stratified according to circulating tumor cells (CTC) status (positive vs negative) in 100 patients treated with radical cystectomy and bilateral lymphadenectomy for urothelial carcinoma of the bladder.

3 Fig. 2 Kaplan-Meier plots of (A) recurrence-free, (B) cancer-specific, and (C) overall survival stratified according to numbers of circulating tumor cells (CTC; 1 CTC vs ≥2 CTC/7.5ml) in 23 CTC-positive patients treated with radical cystectomy and bilateral lymphadenectomy for urothelial carcinoma of the bladder.

4 Fig. 3 Determination of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status by (A) fluorescent in situ hybridization and (B) immunofluorescence using the CellSearch system. (A) Primary tumor with strong HER2 gene amplification (clusters of HER2 signals: red; CEP17 signals: green); (B) circulating tumor cells detected with the CellSearch system (0: HER2 negative; 1+: weak; 2+: moderate; 3+: strong intensity of HER2-specific immunofluorescence).
