DISSEMINATED CYTOKERATIN POSITIVE TUMOR CELLS IN THE BONE MARROW OF PATIENTS WITH PROSTATE CANCER: DETECTION AND PROGNOSTIC VALUE

Abstract

Cytokeratin positive cells in the bone marrow also have prognostic relevance in prostate cancer. The comprehensive analysis of these cells, studies of the individual course of these findings and sufficiently long followup allow us to discuss whether and under what conditions metastasis may develop from 1 or several cytokeratin positive cells.
