Good Morning All,

Guanylyl Cyclase C mRNA Expression Signals Metastasis Of
Colorectal Cancer
WESTPORT, Dec 07 (Reuters Health) - In patients with apparently
node-negative colorectal cancer, guanylyl cyclase C mRNA
expression may be a more accurate marker of recurrence than
currently used markers, Thomas Jefferson University researchers
report in the December 7th issue of Annals of Internal Medicine.
Dr. Scott A. Waldman and colleagues in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, used reverse transcriptase polymerase chain
reaction (RT-PCR) to analyze mRNA in lymph nodes from 21 patients
with node-negative colorectal cancer who had undergone surgery.
Of these, 11 patients had no evidence of disease for 6 or more
years after surgery, and 10 developed metastases within 3 years
after surgery.
