Prognostic Significance of Cytokeratin-20 Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction in Lymph Nodes of Node-Negative Colorectal Cancer Patients

2002-02-15

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Approximately 20% to 30% of patients with curatively resected, node-negative (pN0) colorectal cancer die of tumor recurrence, which can be caused by minimal residual disease. To identify patients with an increased risk of tumor recurrence and evaluate the prognostic value of cytokeratin-20 (CK-20), we detected CK-20–positive cells in histopathologically tumor-free lymph nodes (pN0) of patients with colore...
