PURPOSE: Chromosome 3p is deleted frequently in various types of human cancers, including lung cancer. Recently, the RASSF1A gene was isolated from the 3p21.3 region homozygously deleted in lung and breast cancer cell lines, and it was shown to be inactivated by hypermethylation of the promoter region in lung cancers. In this study, we investigated the pathogenetic and clinicopathological significances of RASSF1A...
