Characterization of a side population of cancer cells from human gastrointestinal system

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cancers of the gastrointestinal system do contain SP cells that show some characteristics of so‐called stem cells.
Journal Article

Detection of cancer micrometastases in lymph nodes by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction

TL;DR: The assay by CEA-specific nested RT-PCR is not only sensitive but widely applicable for the detection of cancer micrometastases in lymph nodes, which may lead to an earlier diagnosis and treatment of patients with subclinical lymph node metastasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular detection of circulating solid carcinoma cells in the peripheral blood: The concept of early systemic disease

TL;DR: It is suggested that RT‐PCR amplification of CEA mRNA is an efficient means of detecting circulating solid cancer cells in the peripheral blood, although long‐term clinical studies should be done to evaluate its usefulness; not only breast cancer but also gastrointestinal cancer might be better regarded as a systemic disease even in early stages of carcinoma.
