Abstract
近年来,随着液体活检技术兴起,循环肿瘤细胞(circulating tumor cell, CTC)在癌症患者的早期诊断、疗效评估及预后评价等方面显示出重要的价值。CTC的产生导致肿瘤发生远处转移及患者的预后不良。因此,阐明CTC的产生、进入循环系统及其免疫逃逸的机制尤为重要。目前,精准诊疗成为提高肺癌患者预后的重要努力方向。针对肺癌CTC有望为肺癌精准诊疗提供有力的理论依据与重要手段。现对上述热点问题的最新研究进展进行综述。

Abstract
Introduction: Metastasis is the main cause of cancer-associated death in colorectal cancer (CRC). The presence of circulating tumor cells (CTC) in the blood is associated with an increased risk of recurrence and poor prognosis. The clinical significance of CTCs as a novel biomarker has been extensively studied in the last decade. It has been shown that CTC detection applies to early cancer detection. The presence of CTCs is associated with metastatic spread and poor survival and is also useful as a marker for therapy response.Areas covered: We summarize the role of CTC in CRC, their clinical significance, current methods for CTC detection and challenges as well as future perspectives of CTC research.Expert commentary: The clinical significance of CTC in CRC patients is well established. Although insightful, the available marker-based approaches hampered our understanding of the CTCs and their biology, as such approaches do not take into account the heterogeneity of these cell populations. New technologies should expand the marker-based detection to multi biomarker-based approaches together with recent technological advances in microfluidics for single cell enrichment and analysis.
