Aberrant methylation of secreted frizzled‐related protein genes in esophageal adenocarcinoma and Barrett's esophagus
11 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
Hypermethylation of secreted frizzled-related proteins (SFRP) genes frequently occurs with several cancers but has not been studied in esophageal adenocarcinoma or its precursor-Barrett's esophagus. To explore the role of SFRP methylation in the neoplastic progression of Barrett's esophagus and to evaluate methylated SFRP genes as biomarkers for Barrett's esophagus and cancer, methylation of SFRP genes was...
