Abstract:Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) play pivotal roles for monitoring the tumor metastasis and prognosis. The nanotechnology provides a favourable platform for CTCs detection, and enables CTCs to be more promising for practical application. Meanwhile, the nanoscale device by virtue of nanotechnology has broad application prospects in eliminating CTCs and offers a new direction in the field of anticancer.
