CpG island hypermethylation of E‐cadherin (CDH1) and integrin α4 is associated with recurrence of early stage esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
11 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
The prognosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients remains very poor, which is partially due to a high rate of recurrence. This study was aimed at identifying a recurrence-associated epigenetic prognostic marker in patients with ESCC. We retrospectively analyzed the CpG island hypermethylation of the p16, Wif-1, sFRP1, integrin alpha4, CDH1, DAP kinase and RARbeta2 genes in 251 ESCCs. The...
