ABSTRACT:
A method of diagnosing prostate metastasis is provided by the present invention whereby RNA from a patient's blood is isolated and amplified using a pair of primers which are complementary to regions of the prostate specific antigen gene. The presence or absence of amplified RNA is detected and the presence of amplified RNA is indicative micrometastasis of prostate cancer.
