BACKGROUND. Amplification of keratin 19 mRNA (K19) by reverse transcriptasepolymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) has been shown to be a sensitive method to detect occult breast cancer metastases in lymph nodes. METHODS. Axillary lymph nodes were obtained from 126 patients with breast cancer, and metast
The identification of specific tumor mRNA markers by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction might be a valuable diagnostic adjunct for the detection of breast cancer metastases in axillary sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs). In this study we have compared the diagnostic accuracy of an extensive hi
