Free cancer cells exfoliated from the cancer-invaded serosa contribute to peritoneal dissemination, the most frequent pattern of recurrence in gastric carcinoma patients. This study was designed to evaluate the prognostic relevance of such free cells in peritoneal washes detected by reverse transcri

## Background and objectives: Lymph node metastasis is known as a significant predictor of prognosis in colorectal cancer patients. recently, reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr) has been applied to detecting micrometastasis. to assess the risk of recurrence and accurately deter
## Background: Stage i (t1-2nom0) adenocarcinoma of the pancreas is associated with a 5-year survival rate of 15-25%. despite apparently curative resection and pathologic staging indicating localized disease, these cancers recur. the authors hypothesized that there exists microscopic regional disea
Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) targeted at keratin 19 mRNA was applied to detect circulating cancer cells in the peripheral and portal blood of pancreatic and gastric cancer patients. Keratin 19 mRNA expression was studied by RT-PCR in cancer tissues (12 pancreatic and 15 g
