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

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
To test the hypothesis whether DNA polymerases acquire mutator properties during tumor development (mutator hypothesis), we examined DNA polymerase β¦ mRNA in 6 colon cancer cell lines (DLD-1, HCT116, SW48, HT29, SW480 and SW620) and 7 sporadic human colorectal cancers. For analysis we used amplifica
In colorectal cancer (CRC), a proportion of patients with early stage disease still die of metastatic or recurrent disease within 5 years of "curative" resection. Detection of carcinoma cells in the peripheral circulation at presentation may identify a subgroup of patients with micro-metastatic dise
