## Abstract ## Background A sensitive method for detecting minimal residual disease in the peritoneal cavity by quantifying carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) mRNA using real-time quantitative reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RQ-RT–PCR) was developed. The clinical value of the method f
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Gastrin‐releasing peptide (GRP) is an autocrine growth factor in patients with small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC). The authors developed a reverse transcriptase‐polymerase chain reaction (RT‐PCR) assay for the detection of SCLC cells in the peripheral blood and the pleural
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
