Abstract excerpt
We analyzed the mechanism of estrogen receptor (ER) loss and status of the p53 pathway in 64 cases of endometrial cancer. 26.6% (17 of 64) of endometrial cancers lost ER. Methylation of the ER CpG island was significantly related to ER status (P = 0.0074). However, the methylation site of the ER CpG island differed between breast and endometrial cancers. The abnormal expression rate of p14ARF, MDM2, p53, and the...
