Abstract

To evaluate the clinical value of detected prostate-specific antigen (PSA) mRNA expression levels in circulating cells in patients with prostate cancer by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and to determine the effect of surgical manipulation on hematogenous dissemination.
