Screening for malignant cells in the blood and bone marrow was introduced as a strategy for the improved detection of tumour spread and may predict the development of distant metastases. The sensitivity of these approaches depends on several factors, including the choice of antibody for immunocytoch
## Abstract Despite an extensive surgical approach only 50% of the patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) are biochemically cured. The failure to cure a larger number of patients is a result of the early dissemination of MTC. The present study evaluates two RTβPCR based assays for the dete
## Abstract The purpose of our study was to develop specific, sensitive, objective assays for early detection of disseminated tumour cells in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and cytokeratin 20 (CK20) were chosen as markers because they are selectively expressed
