Epigenetic abnormalities in cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas: frequent inactivation of the RB1/p16 and p53 pathways
23 Aug 2006
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Aberrant methylation of CpG islands in the promoter regions of cancer-related genes has been demonstrated in many human tumours. However, the methylation profile of these regions in cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) has not been well studied. OBJECTIVES: To examine epigenetic abnormalities of a wide range of cancer-related genes in SCCs. METHODS: We investigated the methylation status of 11...
