FORECASTING METHOD PROGRESSION liver metastases in colorectal cancer

摘要

Method liver progression of metastatic lesions prediction for colorectal cancer comprising study of circulating tumor cells (CTC) in blood of patients, characterized in that on the 10th day after surgery on the colon and liver resection determine the number of CTCs, when the content of circulating tumor cells to three 7.5 ml of blood is considered optimal cytoreductive surgery, eliminates the existence of tumors and metastasis, progression of metastatic lesions ne Cheney, at a level of more than three CTC in 7.5 ml blood predict the progression of metastatic colorectal cancer lesions in 100% of cases.
