## Abstract Tumor cells are characterized by specific genetic alterations. When such genetic alterations are identified in body fluid including plasma, regardless of the presence of detectable tumor cells, it shows the existence of freeโcirculating tumorโassociated DNA. The objective of our study w

## Abstract Tumor tissues, blood plasma and bone marrow (BM) aspirates of 57 prostate cancer patients (PCa) without clinical signs of overt metastases were assessed for LOH (loss of heterozygosity) by a PCRโbased fluorescence microsatellite analysis, using a panel of 15 markers. Additionally, micro
All cancer staging systems seek to identify clinical and pathological features that can predict outcome or guide therapy. In particular, a non-invasive method for the early detection of disseminating disease would be of great interest. We investigated the use of cytokeratin genes expression to detec
Mutant-enriched PCR was applied to the detection of mutations at codons I 2 and I 3 of K-ras genes in the stools of patients with colorectal cancer. Mutations were analyzed in stool samples obtained prior to surgery. Resected tumor specimens were screened for K-ras mutations by PCR-mediated RFLP ana
In most cases the analysis of DNA mutations in presence of a high excess of wild type DNA fail because of the low sensitivity of the performed method for mutation detection. Here we describe the new high-sensitive and non-radioactive HD-PCR method (for HeteroDuplex-PCR). In opposite to the conventio
