Summary: | In this article, the authors raise two key questions: 108. Can we develop automated noninvasive detection coupled with single-cell omics technologies that can simultaneously identify and characterize the biological properties of circulating tumor cells using peripheral blood samples from cancer patients? 109. Can we identify cancer cells with metastatic potential in the primary tumor even before metastatic progression for more precise targeted therapies that prevent the spreading of cancer cells? The background introduction and the application potentials of answering these questions are included. |
