Abstract excerpt
Progressive p16 methylation has been associated with metastasis and invasive phenotypes in many cancers. Loss of E-cadherin (CDH1) function contributes to breast cancer progression by promoting cell proliferation, invasion and metastasis. Using methylation-specific PCR, aberrant hypermethylation of p16 and CDH1 in tumor and plasma was analyzed and correlated with levels of serum protein markers, carcinoembryonic...
