Aberrant Promoter Methylation Profile and Association with Survival in Patients with Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer
15 Dec 2006
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of hypermethylation of tumor suppressor genes in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We examined the methylation status of nine genes in 155 tumors from patients with NSCLC using quantitative methylation-specific PCR. We analyzed the associations between gene methylation status and overall patient survival....
