Abstract:
Recurrence and metastasis is the main cause of death in breast cancer patients. Early detection and treatment of malignant breast cancer cells and metastasis are the hotspots of current resear-ches. The discovery of circulating tumor cells(CTC)may provide new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. Detection of CTC will help the early detection of micrometastasis,the guidance of individ-ual treatment,and the evaluation of therapeutic effect and prognosis. Domestic and foreign research pro-gress of CTC was reviewed in this paper.
