Abstract: 
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are considered to be promising biomarkers in malignant diseases. Recently, molecular profiles of CTCs in prostate cancer (PCa) and the role of CTCs in neoadjuvant chemotherapy and transurethral resections of bladder cancer (BCa) are intensely studied. However, localized PCa and nonmuscle-invasive BCa are less investigated and discussed. Moreover, the benefit and feasibility of clinical applications of CTCs should be critically questioned and reevaluated. This review focuses mainly on clinical issues and lesser on methodologies, and summarizes the quintessence of available works dealing with clinical applications of CTCs in PCa and BCa management.
