ABSTRACT:
A method of diagnosing prostate micrometastasis is provided by the present invention whereby nucleic acids from a tissue sample from a patient are isolated, nucleic acids from the tissue sample specific for prostate cancer are amplified, or a signal generated by hybridization of a probe specific to a prostate cancer specific nucleic acid is amplified; and detection of amplified nucleic acids is indicative of micrometastasis of prostate cancer.
