## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) has the propensity to grow rapidly and metastasize extensively. Detection of micro‐dissemination of SCLC may have clinical relevance. For its detection, tumor‐specific gene expressions were examined in peripheral blood and bone marrow aspi

## Background: Several sensitive surveillance tests reportedly have been used to detect occult neuroblastoma (nb) cells in peripheral blood (pb) and bone marrow (bm). they may be useful in monitoring minimal residual tumor cells. the authors report the feasibility and clinical usefulness of a sensi
## Abstract Detection of disseminated tumor cells (DTCs) in bone marrow is an independent prognostic factor in primary breast cancer. Here, we conducted a proof‐of‐principle study to evaluate whether this tumor cell spread occurs already in patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). After preop
## Abstract There is an unmet need for biomarkers for the prediction and monitoring of anticancer therapies. Here, we measured the concentrations of nucleosomes and DNA, protease and caspase activities in serum of 62 patients with ovarian cancer before and after first‐line carboplatin/taxane‐based
