Cellsearch System

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have gained importance as an emerging biomarker in solid tumors in the last two decades. Several detection assays have been introduced by various study groups, with EpCAM-based CellSearch system being the most widely used and standardized technique. In breast cancer, detection of CTCs correlates with clinical outcome in early and metastatic settings. CTC persistence beyond first cycle of palliative chemotherapy indicates poor response to treatment in metastatic situation. Beyond prognostication and therapy monitoring, CTC counts can guide treatment decisions in hormone receptor positive HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer. Furthermore, CTC-based therapy interventions are currently under investigation in clinical trials. In this review, we focus on the current state of knowledge and possible clinical applications of CTC diagnostics in patients with metastatic breast cancer.

The Past

Abstract“Liquid biopsy” was introduced as a new diagnostic concept in 2010 for the analysis of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and has been now extended to material (in particular DNA) released by tumor cells in the peripheral blood of cancer patients. Over the past decade, various methods have been developed to detect CTCs and ctDNA in the peripheral blood of cancer patients.
