Abstract excerpt
Hypermethylation of CpG islands is well known as a major inactivation mechanism of tumor suppressor genes. E-cadherin (E-cad) as a tumor invasion suppressor has been reported in several invasive and metastatic carcinomas. However, its significance in carcinogenesis of primary non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is not well documented. This study was designed to assess the significance with 95 pairs of carefully...
