Detection and clinical significance of circulating tumor cells in colorectal cancer
Abstract Histopathological examination (biopsy) is the “gold standard” for the diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, biopsy is an invasive method, and due to the temporal and spatial heterogeneity of the tumor, a single biopsy cannot reveal the comprehensive biological characteristics and d...

Abstract Histopathological examination (biopsy) is the “gold standard” for the diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC).

Numerous studies have shown that “liquid biopsy” is a promising minimally invasive method for early CRC detection.
