Unique DNA Methylation Patterns Distinguish Noninvasive and Invasive Urothelial Cancers and Establish an Epigenetic Field Defect in Premalignant Tissue
14 Sept 2010
Abstract excerpt
Urothelial cancer (UC) develops along two different genetic pathways, resulting in noninvasive or invasive tumors. However, it is unknown whether there are also different epigenetic pathways in UC. UC is also characterized by a high rate of recurrence, and the presence of a field defect has been postulated. In this study, we compared the DNA methylation patterns between noninvasive and invasive UC and the DNA...
