[0001] The present invention relates to medical diagnostics, in particular to the detection of tumor cells. More specifically, the present invention relates to diagnostic methods for detecting cancer and evaluating treatment options for patients. Background technique
[0002] Circulating tumor cells (Circulating Tumor Cell, CTC) refer to the tumor cells that enter the blood circulation, which can fall off into the blood from the primary tumor or metastases, and may also enter the blood before forming solid tumor lesions. Tumor cells invade the circulatory system, and most of them die within a short period of time due to the body’s immune recognition, mechanical killing, and self-apoptosis, and only a few survive and plant in distant or primary tissues and organs, and further develop into metastases.
