Abstract

Aims: Nodal expression of the carcinoembryonic antigen ( CEA), cytokeratin 20 ( CK20), and guanylyl cyclase C ( GCC) genes was measured in tandem in patients with colorectal cancer ( CRC) to assess whether there would be sufficient agreement between these markers in their ability to detect micrometastasis to qualify one of them as a universal marker, and whether frozen and paraffin wax embedded tissues would yield similar results.
