p16, MGMT, RARβ2, CLDN3, CRBP and MT1G gene methylation in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and its precursor lesions
1 Jun 2006
Abstract excerpt
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a common cancer with a very poor prognosis. New methods are needed to screen high-risk populations and identify curable tumors and precursor lesions early. Molecular markers may be useful in such screening efforts. This study was designed to determine the prevalence of p16, MGMT, RARbeta2, CLDN3, CRBP and MT1G gene methylation in patients with ESCC to evaluate the...
