## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. The promoter of somatostatin (__SST__), a primary inhibitor of gastrinβstimulated gastric acid secretion, is hypermethylated in 80% of human colon cancers. The aim of the current study was to investigate whether and at what stage promoter hypermethylation of __SST__ is i
Hypermethylation of the nel-like 1 gene is a common and early event and is associated with poor prognosis in early-stage esophageal adenocarcinoma

## Abstract Expression of TGFβΞ²1, a major member of the TGFβΞ² superfamily and important promoter of tumor growth, was investigated in a series of primary resected esophageal (Barrett's) adenocarcinomas to establish its potential clinical significance and prognostic relevance in this entity. A serie
## Abstract Although the __CDH13__ gene has been shown to undergo epigenetic silencing by promoter methylation in many types of tumors, hypermethylation of this gene in Barrett'sβassociated esophageal adenocarcinogenesis has not been studied. Two hundred fiftyβnine human esophageal tissues were the
