Minimal disease monitoring by QRT–PCR: guidelines for identification and systematic validation of molecular markers prior to evaluation in prospective clinical trials
14 Jul 2008
Abstract excerpt
Real-time RT-PCR (QRT-PCR) is a sensitive method for the detection of minimal disease (MD) and may improve monitoring of disease status and stratification of patients for therapy. Where tumour-specific mRNAs have not been identified, the selection of which target(s) is(are) optimal for the detection of MD remains a challenge. This reflects the heterogeneity of tumour cells, the stability of mRNAs and low-level of...
