Detection Procedures for Neuroblastoma Cells Metastatic to Blood and Bone Marrow: Blinded Comparison of Chromogranin A Heminested Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction to Tyrosine Hydroxylase Nested Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction and to Anti-GD2 Immunocytology

Specific and sensitive tumor cell detection is becoming increasingly important for diagnosing and staging as well as for the therapeutic management of neuroblastoma patients. We propose a chromogranin A heminested reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (CgA hn RT-PCR) procedure for the dete...
