循环肿瘤细胞在肺癌诊治中的应用

摘要

Lung cancer is one of the most malignant tumors that damage human health and life.Metastasis and recurrence of lung cancer are the leading causes of death.Developing techniques that can detect lung cancer,particularly at an early stage,as well as predict recurrence and metastasis,is an important strategy to improve the outcome.Circulating tumor cell (CTC),regarded as liquid biopsy,open a new field for early diagnosis of lung cancer,as well as for prediction of metastasis,evaluation of prognosis and monitoring of recurrence.%肺癌是危害人类健康与生命的主要恶性肿瘤之一.转移和复发是肺癌患者死亡的主要原因.早期诊断及监测复发和转移,对提高肺癌患者生存率尤为重要.循环肿瘤细胞作为一种新型实时监测的非侵入性诊断工具,可被看作液体活检样本,为肺癌早期预测转移、评估预后以及监测复发开辟了一个新的研究领域.
