## Abstract Inactivation of p16INK4a gene through promoter hypermethylation has been frequently observed in non small cell lung cancer; however, various studies have shown a controversial correlation between p16INK4a hypermethylation and cigarette smoking. Our recent report showed that human papill
Inactivation of p16INK4a by CpG hypermethylation is not a frequent event in colorectal cancer

## Abstract Cell adhesion molecule 1 (CADM1/TSLC1), a putative tumor suppressor involving in cell adhesion, proliferation and apoptosis, is frequently inactivated in several carcinomas due to promoter hypermethylation. But alterations of CADM1/TSLC1 in colorectal carcinogenesis and clinical signifi
## Abstract Bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs) are members of the TGFB growth factor superfamily with wellβdescribed functions in bone formation. Although disrupted BMP signalling in tumor development has more recently been investigated, a role for BMP3 in colorectal cancer (CRC) has remained largely
## Abstract Aberrant promoter hypermethylation of several known or putative tumor suppressor genes occurs frequently during the etiopathogenesis of lung cancer and is a promising tool for cancer detection. In the present study, promoter hypermethylation of __p16^INK4A^__ and __CDH13__ genes was inv
The p16(INK4a) tumor suppressor gene can be inactivated by promoter region hypermethylation in many tumor types including gastric cancers. However, p16(INK4a) promoter hypermethylation in the surrounding non-tumorous tissues of gastric cancers has not been studied in detail. We therefore examined 46
