Abstract:

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed female cancer in the world and 20%-30% patients faced the risk of recurrence and metastasis. Minimal residual disease(MRD) was believed as one of the important factors promo-ting disease progress in breast cancer and was closely associated with poor prognosis. Detection of MRD currently used liquid biopsy including detection of circulating tumor DNA and circulating tumor cell. The methods of detecting MRD in the evaluation of effect and prognosis and recurrence monitoring in breast cancer were explored in this review.

Key words: Minimal residual disease, Breast cancer, Liquid biopsy, Circulating tumor DNA, Circulating tumor cell
