Abstract
PURPOSE:This study was undertaken to investigate the clinical implications of detection of genetic alterations in blood and lymph nodes in colorectal cancer patients.METHODS:The reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction product of the cytokeratin gene in blood was examined as a cancerKeywords
