Abstract

In this study amplification of cytokeratin-19 mRNA by Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect circulating tumor cells in the peripheral blood of patients with cancer of the head and neck before, during and after radiation therapy. Detection of cytokeratin-19-positive cells coincided with local failure, distant metastasis and anemia.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.
