Accumulation of Promoter Methylation Suggests Epigenetic Progression in Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Esophagus
1 Aug 2006
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Squamous esophageal cancer is common in non-Western countries and has a well-defined progression of preinvasive dysplasia leading to invasive squamous cell carcinoma. We examined the changes in promoter region methylation occurring during neoplastic progression. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: The frequency of epigenetic changes in the promoter region of 14 genes epigenetically silenced in other cancers was...
