Abstract:
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are defined as tumor in bloodstream or metastasis-derived cells.It can monitor the progress of metastatic diseases and may play an important role in determining tailored therapies of advanced cancer.The new blood marker technology may be the starting point of a clinical trial to study the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal tumors and the diagnosis and prognosis of gastrointestinal neoplasms and efficacy monitoring in the fulture.In the paper,role of CTCs in the diagnosis,prognosis of gastrointestinal neoplasms,monitoring efficacy and its prospect are reviewed.
