Abstract Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are cancer that shed from the primary and enter into body fluids of patient, where they travel to distant sites ultimately form metastasis. Understanding biology CTCs, in particular at critical stages their itinerary, holds promises for better cure. Since beginning this century, liquid biopsy has steadily grown be a keen area research due its non-invasive features. As one most promising biomarkers, CTCs have shown great potential diagnosis, prognosis, treatment response monitoring, exploration biological mechanisms. Although various types isolation detection technologies emerge constantly, rarity heterogeneity still pose huge challenges these methods make them inefficient. In addition, clinical practice different lacks reasonable uniform standards. review, we provide detailed overview enrichment strategies as well advantages limitations. By summarizing current status suggesting future areas research, hope continue concerted effort pushing forward application which may represent paradigm shift theranostics future. Graphical
