Enumeration of clinicopathological factors between CTC positive and CTC negative groups. A Red blood cell (RBC) was counted in million/cmm using the Neubauer Chamber method and compared between CTC-positive than CTC-negative patients. B Leishman staining was used to count neutrophils, and the results were compared between patients with CTC-positive and CTC-negative patients. C Platelet was counted using the Leishman staining method and compared between CTC-positive and CTC-negative patients. D The physiological protocol determined mean corpuscular volume (MCV) levels by dividing the RBC count by the hematocrit and multiplying the result by ten. E, F Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) levels were calculated manually. *p-value < 0.05, ***p-value < 0.005, ****p-value < 0.0001 two-tailed unpaired t-test
