What test, Em?
CTC Circulating Tumor Cell?
If so, you've hit on one of the problems..(where)
I think it goes something like this, if your score is 5 or less, there's
less of a chance of metastasis.
I see problems with that too. False negative, if the cancer cells aren't
shedding.
False positives, since we may all have cancer cells circulating...(see
other post - I want to ask Steph)
I don't think it's used conventionally, but some people go "outside the
system" and pay for it themselves.
A woman on the BC newsgroup keeps having more scans done because she's
convinced her cancer has returned.
Nothing can be found. (ie there's nothing to treat, but she's developed
quite a case of anxiety over it)
Apparently it's been around since 1869.

So that tells me that oncologists know about it and it is virtually
useless.. IMO

If yoi're talking about a different test, let us know.

It sounds like nonsense
