## Abstract The methylation status of cystatin M (__CST6__) gene in breast tumors was investigated and its prognostic significance as a novel breast cancer biomarker was evaluated. Using methylationβspecific PCR (MSP), __CST6__ promoter methylation was examined in 134 formalin fixed paraffinβembedd
## Abstract ## Background The goal of the current study is to identify predictors responsible for mortality disparities between young (β€40 years) and older (>40 years) women with breast cancer. ## Methods From 1998 to 2006, 344 patients β€40 years were treated for breast cancer. Cox regression mo
