Treatment resistance remains a universal driver of lethal metastatic prostate cancer, associated with acquired genomic alterations and lineage transitions. Using a novel high-purity CTC isolation approach for CTC transcriptional profiling, we identified four lineage phenotypes differentially associated with prognosis in metastatic prostate cancer.
