Loss of Caspase-8 Expression Does Not Correlate with MYCN Amplification, Aggressive Disease, or Prognosis in Neuroblastoma
15 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
Inactivation of caspase-8 because of aberrant gene methylation has been associated with amplification of the MYCN oncogene and aggressive disease in neuroblastoma, suggesting that caspase-8 may function as tumor suppressor. However, the prognostic effect of caspase-8 in neuroblastoma has remained obscure. Therefore, we investigated caspase-8 expression and its correlation with established prognostic markers and...
