The p16 (CDKN2/MTS-1/INK4A) tumor-suppressor gene is frequently inactivated by DNA methylation in lung carcinomas. To clarify whether background anthracosis may play a role in DNA methylation and inactivation of the p16 gene, we examined DNA methylation of the p16-promoter region by methylation-spec
Using different molecular techniques, DNA has been shown to be present in plasma of patients with several types of tumors. Mutations of TP53 are the most common genetic changes in human cancers. We investigated the presence of TP53 gene mutations in plasma DNA of breast and small cell lung cancer pa
## Abstract Among the identified factors involved in malignant transformation, abnormal methylation of the __CDKN2A/p16__^__INK4a__^ gene promoter has been described as an early event, particularly in bronchial cell cancerization. Precancerous bronchial lesions (__n__ = 70) prospectively sampled du
