Abstract
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect malignant lymphoma cells with the bcl-2 gene rearrangement in the peritoneal washings and bone marrow of a patient with an apparently localised gastric lymphoma. After four courses of cytotoxic drug treatment the cells could no longer be detected in either site. PCR is a useful addition to the staging investigations of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and can also be used to monitor response to treatment.Entities:
