ABSTRACT:
Methods for detecting metastasis of melanoma and breast cancer cells, detecting subclinical metastasis, and monitoring treatment are disclosed. Kits for use in such methods also are disclosed. The methods provide for the detection of nucleic acids corresponding to multiple melanoma or breast cancer specific markers using template dependent amplification processes. Methods using multiple markers provide increased sensitivity over existing methods.
