This article reviews the utility of reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in prostate cancer. RT-PCR aims to detect occult micrometastases in non-prostatic sites. Due to its exquisite analytical sensitivity, RT-PCR is able to amplify and detect even low-level, prostate-specific me

Evaluation for circulating tumor cells and bone marrow micrometastases has generated considerable interest due to a potential association with disease recurrence and poor prognosis. In this study, we examined bone marrow and apheresis samples from Stage II, III, and IV patients (n 120) enrolled in v
