Detecting Cervical Cancer by Quantitative Promoter Hypermethylation Assay on Cervical Scrapings: A Feasibility Study
1 May 2004
Abstract excerpt
Current morphology-based cervical cancer screening is associated with significant false-positive and false-negative results. Tumor suppressor gene hypermethylation is frequently present in cervical cancer. It is unknown whether a cervical scraping reflects the methylation status of the underlying epithelium, and it is therefore unclear whether quantitative hypermethylation specific PCR (QMSP) on cervical...
