This article reviews the utility of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in prostate cancer. RT-PCR aims to detect occult micrometastases in non-prostatic sites. Due to its exquisite analytical sensitivity, RT-PCR is able to amplify and detect even low-level, prostate-specific me

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
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
