Detecting Minimal Residual Disease in Neuroblastoma: The Superiority of a Panel of Real-Time Quantitative PCR Markers
21 May 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: PCR-based detection of minimal residual disease (MRD) in neuroblastoma (NB) patients can be used for initial staging and monitoring therapy response in bone marrow (BM) and peripheral blood (PB). PHOX2B has been identified as a sensitive and specific MRD marker; however, its expression varies between tumors. Therefore, a panel of markers could increase sensitivity. METHODS: To identify additional MRD...
