## BACKGROUND. Using a reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay, the authors previously determined the expression of MN/CA9 mRNA in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and its absence in benign renal tissue. In the current study, the utility of an enhanced RT-PCR assay in the detectio
## Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay is a sensitive technique to detect circulating cells expressing prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in blood or bone marrow from patients with prostate cancer. When applied to prostate cancer patients at our institution, this technique
