Tumor-Specific Methylation in Saliva: A Promising Biomarker for Early Detection of Head and Neck Cancer Recurrence
15 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Our goal was to define tumor and saliva gene methylation profile of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and to evaluate its prognostic significance and its biomarker potential for early detection of relapse. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We prospectively analyzed 11 genes by methylation-specific PCR on primary tumors, histologically normal adjacent mucosa, and saliva from 90 French patients at diagnosis and...
