| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to develop a minimally invasive predictive system with use of methylated CCND2 gene in the serum responsible for outcome of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).
(1) We determined several conditions for serum collection and DNA extraction.
(2) We established a quantitative methylation-specific PCR analysis for CCND2 gene in serum.
(3) We demonstrated that methylation levels of CCND2 gene in serum were associated with poor outcome of patents
We reported the relevant research in the form of 9 papers(total of IF=26. 6) and read 17 papers at academic meetings
