Core Tip	Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are emerging minimally invasive biomarkers for evaluating tumor characteristics; however, limited CTCs are detected in the peripheral blood. Portal venous blood, which does not undergo hepatic filtration, can theoretically harbor a large number of CTCs and can be safely assessed using endoscopic ultrasound. The efficacy of CTCs in portal venous blood have shown encouraging results (i.e., higher detection rate and better prediction of prognosis). Here, we provide an overview of CTCs in portal venous blood in the clinical context and future perspectives to enhance the role of portal CTCs as a valid biomarker in pancreatic cancer.
