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

Three PCR methods based on the GB virus-C/ hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/HGV) 5ΠUTR and NS3 genomic region were used for the detection of GBV-C/HGV RNA in serum of 62 patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Ten of 62 (16%) patients were found to have GBV-C/ HGV RNA, which was confirmed b
## 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 transcriptionβpolymerase chain reaction (RQ-RTβPCR) was developed. The clinical value of the method f
The identification of specific tumor mRNA markers by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction might be a valuable diagnostic adjunct for the detection of breast cancer metastases in axillary sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs). In this study we have compared the diagnostic accuracy of an extensive hi
