Article Synopsis
- Epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) is a significant health threat for women, being the most deadly gynecological cancer primarily due to late diagnoses and high recurrence rates.
- Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are a rare type of cancer cell that spread into the bloodstream and may serve as useful biomarkers for monitoring EOC, as they can be obtained through minimally invasive liquid biopsies.
- Despite their potential, the unique characteristics of EOC complicate the detection and analysis of CTCs, posing challenges for their use in clinical settings.
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have potential as diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive biomarkers in solid tumors. Despite Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of CTC devices in various cancers, the rarity and heterogeneity of CTCs in lung cancer make them technically challenging to isolate and analyze, hindering their clinical integration. Establishing a consensus through comparative analysis of different CTC systems is warranted.
