4 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Gastric carcinoma is characterised by numerous genetic and epigenetic alterations that influence cell cycle progression, apoptosis and DNA repair. These alterations include down-regulation of the cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors p21(WAF1/CIP1) and p27(Kip1), and mutations of the tumour suppressor protein p53 and the cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin. Combined evaluation of the prognostic...
