The classic view holds that metastasis and diffusion is an advanced event during cancer progression, but recent studies show that distant diffusion of primary cancer cells may actually be an early event. Detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the circulation may indicate tumor spread, so CTCs are considered to be the key factor of metastatic cascade. In recent years, despite research progress on CTCs, there is a lack of systematic and important evidence to confirm the diagnostic, monitoring and prognostic values of CTCs in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). In this review, we clarify the relationship between CTC values and ESCC and provide more reliable evidence to improve the management and treatment of ESCC.Keywords: esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, circulating tumor cells, diagnostic, prognosticShi YGe XJu MZhang YDi XLiang LDove Medical Pressarticleesophageal squamous cell carcinomacirculating tumor cellsdiagnosticprognosticNeoplasms.
