Study of circulating tumor cells in lung cancer

Jun-ning Liu, Shuai Zhang, Yan Yu

Abstract

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are present in the peripheral blood,and play an important role in the recurrence and metastasis of lung cancer.As the researches about CTCs and targeted therapy move along,it is found that CTCs can be used as a liquid tumor tissue to guide clinical treatment and have a certain significance in the clinical staging and prognosis evaluation of lung cancer. Key words: Circulating tumor cells; Lung neoplasms; Neoplasms metastasis
