The staging of colorectal cancer currently depends on pathological examination of the surgical specimen and regional lymph nodes, accompanied by imaging tests such as computed tomography (CT) scanning. However, alternative molecular methods to detect circulating tumour cells in blood or bone marrow
All cancer staging systems seek to identify clinical and pathological features that can predict outcome or guide therapy. In particular, a non-invasive method for the early detection of disseminating disease would be of great interest. We investigated the use of cytokeratin genes expression to detec
The aim of our prospective study was to detect circulating epithelial cells (CEC) indicating the presence of disseminated tumor cells (DTC) in tissues affected by lymphatic and hematogenic colorectal cancer metastasis. DTC were tracked in lymph node, liver or bone marrow samples of 245 colorectal ca
