Immunobiochemical pathways of neopterin formation and tryptophan breakdown via indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase correlate with circulating tumor cells in ovarian cancer patients- A study of the OVCAD consortium

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) may represent a chronic stimulus for the immune system. In the present study we investigated the potential association of CTCs, the immune activation marker neopterin, and the ratio of kynurenine to tryptophan (Kyn/Trp) as a measure for tryptophan breakdown.
