Abstract

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are cells of epithelial origin from clones of the primary tumor, located in the G0 phase and found in the peripheral blood of patients with various forms of solid cancer. Currently, CTCs are found in breast cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, and their number is used as an independent prognostic factor. The detection of CTCs in various tumors can help in the study of the process of metastasis and the biology of tumor growth. The aim of the work is to establish the presence and frequency of CTCs in the peripheral blood of patients with cancer in the bladder.
