## 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
## Abstract The aim of the present study was to decrease the incidence of false positives and to better characterize marginally __cytokeratinβ19__ (__CKβ19__) mRNA positive peripheral blood samples from patients with early stage breast cancer. A new set of highly specific primers for __CKβ19,__ whi
## Abstract The detection of disseminated tumor cells in peripheral blood from colorectal cancer patients by RTβPCR could be an attractive method for selecting patients for adjuvant therapy. We here report on realβtime RTβPCR assays (LightCycler) to quantitate potential mRNA markers. We investigate
