A quantitative competitive RT-PCR targeting the specific mRNA of c-erbB-2 is described. It is well known that in many cancers the c-erbB-2 gene dosage is elevated and/or the mRNA is overexpressed leading to a poor prognosis. The recently established method to enrich epithelial cells from peripheral
## Abstract The detection of disseminated tumor cells in peripheral blood from colorectal cancer patients by RTβPCR could be an attractive method for selecting patients for adjuvant therapy. We here report on realβtime RTβPCR assays (LightCycler) to quantitate potential mRNA markers. We investigate
