Advantages

- Before surgery
If tumor cells are present in the blood before surgery an increased metastatic potential may be assumed. This can be reduced by an adequate therapy.

- After surgery

The presence of tumor cells in blood after surgery suggests occurrence of metastases or residual disease. This finding should be considered for further therapy decisions.

- During therapy

Persistence of tumor cells in blood during therapy indicates failure of the tumor to respond towards the chosen therapy.

- During aftercare

A sudden reappearance of tumor cells in blood is an early sign for metastasis formation. A closer monitoring of the patient helps to detect and treat metastases earlier then it was possible before.
