English term or phrase: circulating cancer cell
Additional laboratory blood tests will be performed to look at cellular components (proteins, RNA and methylated DNA) from circulating cancer and endothelial cells to find biological signals (biomarkers) that may serve as evidence or predictors of study drug action on your cancer.

血路扩散的癌细胞
Explanation:
circulating 通常指血循环,但有时也适用于淋巴循环。但本文是指癌细胞扩散或脱落至血循环中,癌细胞自然死亡或受吞噬后可释放生物活性物质。检测这些物质可有助于癌症诊断或疗效观察。

Explanation:
"Circulating" here does not refer ONLY to the bloodstream; in fact, cancer is quite often spread via the lymphatic system, and circulating cells may also use this vector to move around (whether they are normal cells or cancerous ones). So I would try to avoid "blood".

I can find only one exact match to confirm the above term, but the following site is a keyword match on a research paper, which seems like a good place to start.
