May CTC technologies promote better cancer management?

Original language description

In the case of cancer, death is usually not due to the primary tumor itself but due to dissemination. Analysis of the circulating tumor cells (CTCs), i.e., cells responsible for a formation of metastases, should provide information useful for the management of cancer patients, fulfilling the objectives of predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine (PPPM). Despite promising results, the decisions on stage of disease and how to guide the adjuvant treatment still do not include results of CTC assessment. We want to describe two major reasons why the recent diagnostic value of CTC analysis is not sufficient for clinical use. The first reason arises from the biological nature of the tumor itself and the second reason is associated with an interdisciplinary status of CTC diagnostics in the sense that it is neither a theme purely for pathologists nor for haemato-oncologists nor clinical biochemists. We anticipate that there are at least three areas where CTCs can be useful for clinical
