title: [Circulating tumor cells and breast cancer: detection techniques and clinical results].
abstract: Due to recent technological progresses, Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC) are currently extensively studied in order to define their diagnostic, prognostic and predictive value. We review here the different detection techniques and their clinical results in breast cancer patients.
