Abstract excerpt
The existence of genetic alterations affecting genes involved in cellular proliferation and death, such as TP53 and K-ras, is one of the most common features of tumour cells. Recently, gene inactivation by promoter hypermethylation has been demonstrated. Methylation is the main epigenetic modific...
