PGP9.5 Promoter Methylation Is an Independent Prognostic Factor for Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
1 Jun 2005
Abstract excerpt
PGP9.5/UCHL1 is a member of the carboxyl-terminal ubiquitin hydrolase family with a potential role in carcinogenesis. We previously identified PGP9.5 as a putative tumor-suppressor gene and methylation of the promoter as a cancer-specific event in primary cancer tissues. In this current study, we analyzed PGP9.5 methylation in 50 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) primary tumors with well characterized...
