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.  |
