TIMP3 and CCNA1 hypermethylation in HNSCC is associated with an increased incidence of second primary tumors
1 Dec 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hypermethylation in the promoter regions is associated with the suppression of gene expression and has been considered a potential molecular marker for several tumor types, including head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC). METHODS: To evaluate the gene hypermethylation profile as a prognostic marker, this retrospective study used a QMSP approach to determine the methylation status of 19 genes...
