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
## Abstract Conventional histopathologic staging of primary colorectal cancers does not allow accurate prognostic stratification within a given tumour stage. Therefore, PCRβbased assays are increasingly used to try to predict more accurately the likelihood of disease progression for the individual
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
