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

Detection of carcinoma cells in the peripheral circulation at presentation may identify a subgroup of patients with micro-metastatic dise
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
