## Abstract Aberrant promoter hypermethylation of tumorβassociated genes leading to their inactivation is a common event in many cancer types. Using a sensitive restrictionβmultiplex PCR method, we studied the promoter hypermethylation profile of the __p16, p15, hMLH1, MGMT__ and __Eβcad__ genes in
## Abstract Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression has been suggested to correlate with intratumoral microvessel density, tumor advancement and prognosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Previous studies have showed that disruption of cell cycle regulator p16 is related t
