主权项 1. A method of judging the lymph node metastasis of stomach cancer, comprising steps of: quantifying mRNA of cytokeratin 19 in a detection sample prepared from a lymph node tissue suspected of having stomach cancer metastasis, and judging the presence of lymph node metastasis of stomach cancer, on the basis of the obtained quantitative value of the mRNA wherein the quantifying step is performed by quantifying the mRNA of cytokeratin 19 by a nucleic acid amplification method selected from the group consisting of (i) quantitative RT-PCR using at least one primer selected from the group consisting of a primer having a nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ NO 1 and a primer having a nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ NO 2, and (ii) quantitative RT-LAMP using at least one primer selected from the group consisting of a primer having a nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ NO 5 and a primer having a nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ NO 6, and wherein the judging step is performed by comparing the quantitative value of the mRNA with a predetermined first and second threshold values, and determining the lymph node metastasis is negative when the quantitative value is lower than the first threshold value, the lymph node metastasis is micrometastasis when the quantitative value is equal to, or higher than, the first threshold value and simultaneously lower than the second threshold value, or the lymph node metastasis is macrometastasis when the quantitative value is equal to, or higher than, the second threshold.
