## Abstract ## Background and Objectives Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most frequent malignant neoplasms worldwide, and is the second leading cause of cancer death in Taiwan. Eโcadherin is an epithelial cell adhesion molecule, and decreased Eโcadherin expression in HCC is associated

E-cadherin plays a major role in intercellular adhesion, cell polarity and tissue architecture. We determined the relative risk of PCa associated with a previously reported C/A SNP at -160 bp relative to the transcription-start site of the E-cadherin gene promoter. Eighty-two PCa patients and 188 co
## Abstract Part of the inherited susceptibility to colorectal cancer (CRC) is caused by the coinheritance of common low risk variants. Eโcadherin (__CDH1__) has an established role in CRC; somatic inactivation of __CDH1__ is a common early event, and germline mutations can cause earlyโonset CRC. T
## Abstract The __Eโcadherin__ (__CDH1__) gene has been associated with prostate carcinogenesis. The C/A polymorphism โ160 base pairs relative to the transcription start site has been shown to decrease gene transcription. We analyzed the association between this polymorphism and the risk of sporadi
