A prospective, proof-of-concept pilot study in patients with metastatic cancers (9 types of cancers are studied) treated at the IUCT-O or possibly in other institutions. Eligible patients will be selected and informed of this study during a medical consultation for their cancer by medical oncologists. Then, with the patient's consent and before the start of anti-cancer treatment (whatever the line), a blood sample will be taken to detect DP-circulating cells by 2 different methods of analysis. Each patient will participate in the study for one day. The methods of analysis will be: flow cytometry for all patients and either Parsotix® or CellSearch® depending on the type of cancer. 450 patients will be enrolled in total.

RECRUITINGRate of patients presenting blood circulating DP cells detected by at least one of the two tested techniques (Flow Cytometry/ CellSearch® or Parsortix® according to the type of tumor)
It is defined as the ratio of number of patients for whom DP cells were detected (by at least 1 of the 2 techniques) by the total number of patients.
Time frame: 1 year after the Last Patient Last Visit
