1 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cervical cancer (CC), a leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women worldwide, has been causally linked to genital human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Although a host of genetic alterations have been identified, molecular basis of CC development is still poorly understood. RESULTS: We examined the role of promoter hypermethylation, an epigenetic alteration that is associated with the silencing...
