The Role of Circulating Tumor Cell as a Promising Biomarker in the Evaluation of Pulmonary Nodules: A Prospective Study
CTC count can be used in identifying malignant PNs. The diagnostic efficacy can be improved if combined with computed tomography imaging characteristics. Further CNV analysis might help differential diagnosis. Greater CTC count might suggest more aggressive tumors. CTC detection can provide important information and guidance for subsequent management of PNs.
