Prognostic Analysis of E-Cadherin Gene Promoter Hypermethylation in Patients with Surgically Resected, Node-Positive, Diffuse Gastric Cancer
15 Apr 2004
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Recent investigations have demonstrated that hypermethylation is a frequent mechanism for silencing tumor suppressor genes. This is a potentially reversible epigenetic change, and it is the target of a novel class of anticancer compounds with demethylating activity. Better understanding of the clinical implications of hypermethylation will allow the optimal planning of future trials with demethylating...
