循环肿瘤细胞在乳腺癌诊疗中的应用

The application of circulating tumor cells in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer

近年来外周血循环肿瘤细胞（CTC）检测的临床应用无疑是精准医学领域的研究热点之一。CTC检测因其具有非侵入性、易获取、可反复采集、具有高度可重复性等优势，可对肿瘤治疗进行实时全面监测，在乳腺癌的复发预警、疗效及时评价、预后判断以及个体化治疗用药指导等方面均有大量的应用。

In recent years,the clinical utility of circulating tumor cells （CTCs）analysis from peripheral blood has undoubtedly become a popular topic in the field of precision medicine.CTCs analysis is a noninvasive,easily obtained and highly repeatable testing approach,and could be carried out in a real-time manner,which has never failed to surprise us with great progression in the detection of early disease,assessing prognosis,treatment response monitoring and individualized therapeutic direction in breast cancer.
