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

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
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
## BACKGROUND. Using a reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay, the authors previously determined the expression of MN/CA9 mRNA in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and its absence in benign renal tissue. In the current study, the utility of an enhanced RT-PCR assay in the detectio
We used a reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction method for squamous-cell carcinoma (SCC) antigen mRNA to detect circulating tumour cells in patients with carcinoma of the uterine cervix. The sensitivity of the method, as determined by cell spiking experiments, was 10 cultured A431 cells am
