PCR detection of circulating tumor cells in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with distant metastasis: Effect of enzyme and sampling

Background Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) has a high potential to develop distant metastasis after radiotherapy. Cytokeratin 19 (CK‐19) mRNA has been frequently used as a marker in the detection of circulating tumor cells of epithelial origin, but has rarely been investigated in NPC. This study was...
