Aberrant Methylation of<i>APC, MGMT, RASSF2A</i>, and<i>Wif-1</i>Genes in Plasma as a Biomarker for Early Detection of Colorectal Cancer
23 Sept 2009
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To identify epigenetic molecular makers in plasma for the early detection of colorectal cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We retrospectively analyzed the methylation status of 10 genes in fresh-frozen tissues and corresponding plasma samples from 243 patients with stage I and II sporadic colorectal cancer, 276 healthy individuals, and plasma from 64 colorectal adenoma patients using methylation-specific PCR....
