The results of the current study indicate that because of its high sensitivity, RT-PCR of CK-20 is a potential biomarker for detecting metastases in blood samples from patients with carcinoma of the colon, stomach, and pancreas.
A case of extensive nodular lymphoid hyperplasia of the small bowel associated with a primary small bowel malignant lymphoma of reticulum cell type is described. No other well‐documented association of this type could be found in die literature. This association could represent a fortuitous occurrence of the two lesions, but the possibility of the lymphoma having evolved from the lymphoid hyperplasia has also to be considered. There was no evidence of a dysgamma‐globulinemic syndrome of the type described by Hermans et al.9.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
