Accurate quantification of disseminated tumor cells in hematological samples is of fundamental importance in clinical oncology. However, even highly standardized protocols allow only a rough estimation of the total analyzed cell number, as sample processing may have adverse effects on the number of
The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes of tumor cell contamination in bone marrow (BM) and peripheral blood (PB) during the clinical course of patients with advanced neuroblastoma by detecting tyrosine hydroxylase (TII) mRNA to clarify the appropriate source and time for harvesting hemato
