Abstract:
It has been confirmed that circulating tumor cells (CTCs) may be the origin of a wide variety of tumor metastasis,which plays an important rote in tumor metastasis,recurrence and treatment-resistant.Through the enrichment detection and analysis of biological characteristics of CTCs,useful information can be provided for the early diagnosis of tumor,assessment of metastasis risk and prognosis,as well as individualized anti-tumor treatment project.In this paper,the research progress on detection of CTCs and its clinical application were reviewed in recent years.
