## Abstract Gallbladder carcinoma (GBC) is a highly malignant neoplasm and represents the leading cause of cancer death in Chilean women. In order to determine the potential role of promoter methylation in gallbladder carcinogenesis, we investigated the frequency of this epigenetic mechanism by met

Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2A5 is involved in the metabolism of carcinogens like aflatoxin B1 and N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA), and CYP2A5 levels are increased in some pathological states of the liver (e.g., infectious hepatitis and porphyria). We analyzed the expression of CYP2A5 during experimental liv
## BACKGROUND. It is generally known that replication errors (RERs) at microsatellite loci detected in human malignancies reflect a genetic instability that is caused by abnormalities of DNA mismatch repair system and underlie human carcinogenesis. The authors analyzed RERs in precancerous lesions
Studies on the cell kinetics of the human gallbladder are difficult because of epithelial degeneration by bile. Using the epithelial isolation technique, however, we were able to determine the degree of degeneration and to examine the cell kinetics of gallbladder lesions in freshly resected surgical
## Abstract The role of microsatellite alterations other than loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in the progression of benign epithelium to head‐and‐neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) has not been previously described. As the severity of the dysplasia increases at the microscopic level, there is an increa
