1 Jul 2015
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Hypermethylation of relevant genes may affect the prognosis of patients with cancer. The purpose of this study was to analyze whether methylation of the promoter regions of cell cycle regulators as well as elevated α-Fetoprotein (AFP) levels are useful prognostic factors for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Nested methylation-specific PCR (nested-MSP) was used to...
