Promoter hypermethylation of tumor‐related genes in gastric intestinal metaplasia of patients with and without gastric cancer
22 Oct 2002
Abstract excerpt
Promoter hypermethylation is an alternative mechanism of gene silencing in human cancers including gastric cancer. While intestinal metaplasia (IM) is generally regarded as a precancerous lesion of the stomach, our study examines the presence of gene promoter hypermethylation in IM of patients with and without gastric cancer. We examined 31 samples of gastric cancer, 36 gastric IM (21 associated with gastric...
