Abstract
In metastatic breast cancer the role of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) enumeration for predicting clinical outcome is supported by many studies, most of them dealing with strictly epithelial cells. However, it is becoming clear that CTCs are a heterogeneous cell population characterized by plasticity and including also cells which have lost the epithelial phenotype. Here we review literature data on CTC heterogeneity both at phenotype and at...
