Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the presence of haematogenous neoplastic cells in patients with prostate cancer. Circulating prostate cells can be detected in cancer patients by using a nested-reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction assay (RT-PCR), for prostate-specific membrane (PSM) antigen mRNA. This sensitive nested RT-PCR assay may play a crucial role in the administration of adjuvant therapy of patients with prostate adenocarcinoma.
