IGFBP7 is associated with poor prognosis in oesophageal adenocarcinoma and is regulated by promoter DNA methylation
19 Dec 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We examined whether silencing of IGFBP7 was associated with survival in patients with oesophageal adenocarcinoma. METHODS: Protein expression of IGFBP7 was determined using immunohistochemistry in a tissue microarray representing tumours from 65 patients with oesophageal adenocarcinoma who had not had neoadjuvant therapy. DNA methylation of the IGFBP7 promoter was determined with the melt curve...
