## Background: The diagnosis of pancreatic carcinoma is often associated with a poor prognosis, because most patients already have advanced disease. a highly sensitive assay to detect the progression of pancreatic carcinoma would be of significant clinical utility. the authors developed multiple tu
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
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
