| Core Tip |
This study demonstrates that preoperative detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is a potent and minimally invasive prognostic tool for gastric cancer. We found that CTCs-positive status was significantly associated with aggressive clinicopathological features, including advanced tumor stage and metastasis. Importantly, CTCs positivity was an independent predictor of significantly shorter progression-free survival. These findings strongly support the integration of preoperative CTCs testing into standard clinical practice to enhance risk stratification and guide personalized treatment decisions for patients with gastric cancer. |
