Utility of Gene Promoter Methylation in Prediction of Response to Platinum-Based Chemotherapy in Epithelial Ovarian Cancer (EOC)
1 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
The aim was to determine whether promoter methylation of BRCA1, MGMT, MLH1, RASSF1A, and p16 genes could predict response to platinum-based chemotherapy. Thirty-five subjects with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) treated by platinum-based chemotherapy were recruited. Methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction was carried out and the methylation index (MI) was also derived. Response to platinum-based...
