Molecular epidemiology of gastric cancer.
نویسنده
چکیده
Molecular epidemiology refers to the incorporation of molecular techniques in epidemiological studies. There are different biomarkers in cancer research used for molecular epidemiology including markers of exposure, markers of dose, susceptibility, treatment response, prognosis, altered structure/function and cancer type. Selected markers, especially those of exposure and susceptibility, are described in an example of gastric cancer. Clinical significance of molecular epidemiology is discussed.

Increased Expression of CYP2E1 Gene in Gastric Cancer May be a Molecular Marker for Mazandaran Province Population
Cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) enzyme metabolically activates a large number of low molecular mass xenobiotics probably involved in gastric cancer incidence through activation of procarcinogens. North of Iran is amongst high incidence rate areas of gastric carcinoma where environmental carcinogenic compounds, including agricultural pesticides, are massively used. In this report, we quantitatively...

متن کاملAssociation of the -160 C>A Polymorphism in the CDH1 Promoter with Gastric Cancer: A Case-control Study
E-cadherin is a tumor suppressor protein that plays a crucial role in cell-cell adherens junction and tissue architecture and it is hypothesized to participate in carcinogenesis. It has been shown that a polymorphism in the upstream of the transcription start site of the CDH1 gene affects E-cadherin transcriptional regulation and seems to be associated with a variety of cancers. For the first t...
