Immunomagnetic Enrichment, Genomic Characterization, and Prognostic Impact of Circulating Melanoma Cells
15 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The finding of melanoma cells in the peripheral blood, thus far mainly inferred from the PCR-based demonstration of tyrosinase mRNA, has been associated with metastatic melanoma. Neither the malignant nature nor the prognostic significance of circulating cells could be established. To address this question, we analyzed immunomagnetically isolated circulating melanoma cells for chromosomal aberrations and...
