In recent years, the clinical application of circulating tumor cell (CTCs) detection has become one of the research hotspots in the field of precision medicine. CTCs detection is noninvasive, easy to obtain, can be repeatedly collected, and highly repeatable with other advantages. It not only can be a real-time comprehensive monitoring of cancer treatment but also can have a large number of applications, including early diagnosis of tumor, timely evaluation of efficacy, condition monitoring, resistance factor analysis, prognosis judgment, individualized treatment of tumors, drug guidance, and so on. At present, many large-scale clinical studies at home and abroad run through all stages of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. For different treatment stages of breast cancer, the application value of CTCs detection is different. Compared with traditional detection methods, CTCs have advantages in dynamic monitoring of disease changes and efficacy evaluation in real-time. In the era of breast cancer classificational and individualized treatment, CTCs detection can provide patients with the most timely and optimized treatment plan.
