## Abstract Metastatic lymph nodes (LNs) are the major prognostic factor in resected non small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). However, almost 50% of pN0 patients relapse, suggesting metastatic cells undetected by current staging procedures. A combination of markers [cytokeratins 19 and 7 (CK19, CK7)

## Abstract Histologic examination lacks the sensitivity to detect micrometastases in gastric cancer lymph nodes. In the present study, we applied a realβtime RTβPCR approach to the quantitative detection of micrometastases in gastric cancer lymph nodes and compared diagnostic power with routine hi
## Abstract The purpose of our study was to develop specific, sensitive, objective assays for early detection of disseminated tumour cells in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and cytokeratin 20 (CK20) were chosen as markers because they are selectively expressed
