For detection of circulating melanoma cells, the expression of the tyrosinase gene is most widely used. Several cohorts of melanoma patients from single institutions have been analyzed by various research groups for the presence of circulating melanoma cells in all stages of dise...
متن کاملCancer therapeutic antibodies come of age: targeting minimal residual disease.
Ten years after the first clinical application of Rituximab, an anti-CD20 recombinant monoclonal antibody, immunotherapy has become common practice in oncology wards. Thanks to the great diversity of the immune system and the powerful methodology of genetic engineering, the pharmacologic potential of antibody-based therapy is far from exhaustion. The recent application of Trastuzumab, an antibo...
متن کاملThe clinical relevance of detection of minimal residual disease in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia
Risk directed treatment forms a central component of modern protocols for childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). A review of recent studies of minimal residual disease (MRD) analysis shows that it is a powerful prognostic factor in both first line and relapse treatment. However, the value of MRD analysis is both time point and protocol specific, and the threshold for MRD detection of th...
