Abstract excerpt
Gastric cancer is a major public health problem in Pará state, where studies suggest complex genetic and epigenetic profiles of the population, indicating the need for the identification of molecular markers for this tumor type. In the present study, the methylation patterns of three genes [p16 (INK4A), p15 (INK4B), and adenomatous polyposis coli (APC)] were assessed in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma from...
