## Abstract Promoter hypermethylation is an alternative mechanism of gene silencing in human cancers including gastric cancer. While intestinal metaplasia (IM) is generally regarded as a precancerous lesion of the stomach, our study examines the presence of gene promoter hypermethylation in IM of p

## Abstract Promoter hypermethylation of the __ADAM23__ gene, which is normally involved in cellโtoโcell and cellโto matrix adhesion, has been reported in pancreatic, breast and brain cancer, and recently the role of this gene was examined in gastric cancer. In this study, we analyzed __ADAM23__ ex
Myf-3 is the human homologue of the murine Myo-D1 gene involved in muscle-cell differentiation. Using Southern blot analysis, we examined methylation of Myf-3 in histologically normal colonic mucosae, adenomas and carcinomas from a large series of patients with primary colorectal cancer. Hypermethyl
## Abstract The incidence and mortality of prostate cancer (PC) is approximately 2โfold higher among AfricanโAmericans as compared to Caucasians and very low in Asian. We hypothesize that inactivation of __GSTP1__ genes through CpG methylation plays a role in the pathogenesis of PC, and its ability
## Abstract Tumor cells are characterized by specific genetic alterations. When such genetic alterations are identified in body fluid including plasma, regardless of the presence of detectable tumor cells, it shows the existence of freeโcirculating tumorโassociated DNA. The objective of our study w
