Abstract:
Circulating tumor cells are found in patients’ peripheral blood circulation, which are the key to tumor metastasis and recurrence. We can achieve early diagnosis and treatment of the tumor if we could detect circulating tumor cells through peripheral blood vessels. It is of great significance to improve the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma patients by studying the relationships between hepatocellular carcinoma and peripheral circulating tumor cells. Hence, this paper reviews the recent progress in the detection and clinical application of circulating tumor cells in hepatocellular carcinoma in order to provide references for clinical and related studies.
