Circulating Methylated- DCR2 Gene in Serum as an Indicator of Prognosis and Therapeutic Efficacy in Patients with MYCN Nonamplified Neuroblastoma
1 Nov 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: MYCN amplification (MNA) in neuroblastoma is a strong indicator of poor prognosis. However, some MYCN nonamplified (non-MNA) cases show poor outcomes, and examining the status of the gene requires an operation, which may have surgical complications. Therefore, a new marker is needed to identify cases of non-MNA neuroblastomas with poor prognoses using less risky procedures. Aberrant hypermethylation...
