Recurrence in oral and pharyngeal cancer is associated with quantitative MGMT promoter methylation
6 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Biomarkers that predict clinical response, tumor recurrence or patient survival are severely lacking for most cancers, particularly for oral and pharyngeal cancer. This study examines whether gene-promoter methylation of tumor DNA correlates with survival and recurrence rates in a population of patients with oral or pharyngeal cancer. METHODS: The promoter methylation status of the DNA repair gene...
