Promoter methylation of the Wnt/β‐catenin signaling antagonist Dkk‐3 is associated with poor survival in gastric cancer
2 Dec 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Abnormal activation of the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway is common and critical in the pathogenesis of digestive cancers. In this study, the authors investigated the promoter methylation of the dickkopf homolog 3 gene Dkk-3 in these cancers and its prognostic significance in gastric cancer. METHODS: Dkk-3 methylation was assessed in 173 patients with gastric cancers (including 104 patients who...
