Association between P(16INK4a) promoter methylation and non-small cell lung cancer: a meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND: Aberrant methylation of CpG islands acquired in tumor cells in promoter regions plays an important role in carcinogenesis. Accumulated evidence demonstrates P(16INK4a) gene promoter hypermethylation is involved in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), indicating it may be a potential bi...
