Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) in peripheral blood play an important role in cancer metastasis because tumor cells must transport through the circulatory system before colonizing the secondary sites. CTCs have been advocated as potential biomarkers for cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and personalized medicine. As a result, CTC isolation and analysis are important topics in research, medical, and clinical communities.

This book "Circulating Tumor Cells: Isolation and Analysis" presents an introduction to CTCs as well as historical perspective, a variety of state-of-the-art isolation methods, post-isolation analyses, clinical translation, and commercial platforms.
