Methylation of Multiple Genes as Diagnostic and Therapeutic Markers in Primary Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
1 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To examine epigenetic events of aberrant promoter methylation as diagnostic markers in primary head and neck squamous cell carcinoma using a novel multigene approach. Promoter methylation-mediated silencing is a hallmark of several established tumor suppressor genes. Changes in DNA methylation have been reported to occur early in carcinogenesis and therefore are potentially important early indicators...
