RESUMO
Circulating tumor cells(CTCs)are a special type of biomarker that can be used as a diagnostic tool to predict the prognosis of multiple tumors.At present,although circulating tumor cells have not been full clinically application,studies on circulating tumor cells have shown high clinical efficacy,especially in the fields of breast cancer,lung cancer,prostate cancer and colorectal canc-er.This article reviews the research progress of circulating tumor cells in metastatic cancer and non-metastatic cancer,analyzes the clinical efficacy and practicability of circulating tumor cells.
RESUMO
Colon cancer is a common malignant tumor. Early diagnosis and treatment is one of the most important clinical challenges. Since MicroRNA is discovered to closely relate to cancer, it has been suggested to be used in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. This review focuses on recent advances in the diagnosis and treatment of MicroRNA in colon cancer and the role of MicroRNA in Wnt signaling pathways and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling pathways.
