Aberrant methylation of the FHIT gene in chronic smokers with early stage squamous cell carcinoma of the lung
3 Jun 2004
Abstract excerpt
Fragile histidine triad (FHIT) gene plays an important role in the pathogenesis of lung cancer. However, the clinicopathological significance of CpG island hypermethylation of FHIT gene in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains to be elucidated. We studied FHIT methylation in 254 NSCLCs in order to further understand the clinicopathological and prognostic significance of FHIT methylation in NSCLC. Methylation...
