Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In colorectal cancer (CRC), DNA methylation anomalies define distinct subgroups termed CpG island methylator phenotype 1 (CIMP1), CIMP2, and CIMP-negative. The role of this classification in predicting recurrence and disease-free survival (DFS) in resected stage III CRC was evaluated. METHODS: Sporadic cancers from 161 patients were analyzed. Bisulfite pyrosequencing was used to examine the...
