Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: We investigated the impact of promoter methylation on APC protein expression in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: 50 patients [HCC (n=19), liver metastasis (n=19), cholangiocellular cancer (n=7), and benign liver tumors (n=5)] were studied for methylation using Methylight analysis. APC mutation was investigated by protein truncation test and direct sequencing of genomic...
