May 17, 2015 updated by: Shen Lin, Peking University

Prediction of Recurrence in Advanced Gastric Cancer After Radical Resection by Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs)

To assess the predictive value of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) for recurrence of advanced gastric cancer after radical resection.

To identify the relationship between the detection of circulation tumor cells and recurrence patterns of gastric cancer after radical resection.
