## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Gastrinโreleasing peptide (GRP) is an autocrine growth factor in patients with small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC). The authors developed a reverse transcriptaseโpolymerase chain reaction (RTโPCR) assay for the detection of SCLC cells in the peripheral blood and the pleural
## Abstract The presence of tumour cells in peripheral blood of neuroblastoma patients is of considerable clinical importance. Nucleic acid amplification offers an opportunity to detect very small numbers of such cells, but in neuroblastoma a frequent specific abnormality in the tumour DNA suitable
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
