摘要

In a trial in patients with metastatic breast cancer, the prognostic value of the number of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) at baseline was independent of tumor subtype, except in patients with HER2-positive disease treated with anti-HER2 targeted therapy. These data support the use of CTC detection as a tool contributing to personalized medicine.
