Significance of circulating tumor cells detection in tumor diagnosis and monitoring

© 2023. The Author(s)..

To detect circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the peripheral blood of patients with tumor, and to analyze the significance of CTC detection in tumor diagnosis and monitoring. In the present study, peripheral blood was collected from 125 patients with tumor, and CTCs were isolated and identified. Differences in CTC number and subtype detection were analyzed for different tumor diseases and stages. CTCs were detected in 122 of the 125 patients with tumor, with a positive rate of 97.6%. The number of CTCs increases in patients with vascular metastasis. The number of mesenchymal CTCs increases in patients with lymph node or vascular metastasis. The average ratio of epithelial CTCs in each positive sample decreases in the later stages of cancer compared with the earlier stages, while the average ratio of mesenchymal CTCs increases in the later stages of cancer compared with the earlier stages. The results showed that CTCs with mesenchymal phenotypes are closely related to lymph node or vascular metastasis. CTC detection can help with early diagnosis of tumor diseases. Continuous monitoring of changes in CTCs number and subtypes can assist clinical judgment of tumor disease development status and prognosis.
