"Recent data suggests that detection of promoter methylation of EDNRB and DCC in patients with high-risk oral lesions has a similar performance in diagnosis as expert clinical evaluation [ xref ]."

sparser
"ESR1 and DCC methylation were significantly higher in HPV16-positive women."

sparser
"When we categorized a cell line showing aΔC T of more than 15.0 as DCC expression-negative and a cell line with aΔC T of 15.0 or less as DCC expression-positive, only the GCIY cell line could be categorized as DCC expression-positive among the seven gastric cancer cell lines with DCC methylation; this finding was statistically non-significant."

sparser
"Seven of 8 cases with complete loss, 33 of 38 cases with focal loss, and 34 of 40 cases with positive DCC expression were informative for both DCC promoter methylation and 18q LOH."

sparser
"The CGI spanning promoter/exon 1 of DCC was methylated at Taq I site in 8 out of 10 tumors as demonstrated by almost complete digestion with Taq I whereas it was methylated in matching normal colon tissues only in sample #8 and #10 ( xref ."

sparser
"While TBX5 and DCC are methylated in all cell lines, other genes ( TBX18, DGKI, PGRMC1, LIN7C and HOXB13 ) are differentially methylated ( xref )."

sparser
"There was very little evidence of any significant associations of clinical characteristics with methylation of p16 , DCC , CCNA1 , CD1A , GADD45α , NDN or LINE-1 genes."

sparser
"DCC, DLC-1 and LRP1B were identified as tumor suppressor genes and were aberrantly methylated in cancer cells ( xref – xref )."

sparser
"For patients without methylated DCC, addition of a logistic regression score that was based on the five remaining genes improved sensitivity from 35.5% to 75% but decreased the specificity from 100% to 73%."

sparser
"In tumors of never smokers, CCNA1 methylation was higher (p<0.04) while DCC methylation tended to be lower (p=0.18)."

"Recently, we examined the methylation status of the DCC gene in colorectal carcinomas and found that aberrant methylation of the DCC gene was detected in 28 out of the 50 (56%) primary colon carcinomas."

sparser
"However, experiments in the future need to confirm if methylated DCC can serve as a marker during the screening of cervical cancer ( xref )."

sparser
"Primary oral cancer patients with methylated DCC had a significantly reduced survival than those who did not have DCC methylation. xref The presence ofp16 INK4a or DCC methylation in the primary tumor has been shown to be associated with poor outcome. xref , xref , xref Our study supports these findings."

sparser
"Interestingly, DCC methylation has been associated with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma xref and in one study, was found to be differentially methylated in head and neck cancer cell lines by HPV status xref ."

sparser
"However, DCC methylation was not associated with any clinical or pathologic parameters measured."

sparser
"CCNA1, DAPK, DCC and TIMP3 methylation were highly specific for being found in the OSCC samples."

sparser
"Methylation of CCNA1 , NDN , CD1A , and DCC was higher, while methylation of p16 was lower, in HPV (+) tumors compared to HPV (-) tumors."

sparser
"In this study we examined methylation of DCC, KIF1A, EDNRB, and p16(INK4a) in a large cohort of HNC patients from Eastern Cooperative Group (ECOG) 4393/Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) 9614 to identify clinical correlates of methylation of these genes."

sparser
"DCC methylation was detected in 16/47 (34%) HIV-NHL, and was more frequent in HIV-DLBCL (12/28; 43%) compared to HIV-BL (3/11; 27%), and HIV-PEL (1/8; 13%)."

"Shin et al. reported the promoter methylation of MOS, DCC, CRK , and PTPN6 in gastric cancer [ xref ]."

sparser
"Therefore, we defined a DCC methylation of 5 % or more as a continuous variable (i.e., >5.0 % methylation was defined as methylation-positive (methylated) and <5.0 % methylation as methylation-negative (unmethylated))."

sparser
"In addition, methylation of DCC was correlated with bone invasion by gingival tumors (P = 0.036), with aggressive invasiveness of tumors of the tongue (P = 0.046), and with reduced survival (P = 0.050)."

sparser
"For patients without methylated DCC, addition of a logistic regression score that was based on the five remaining genes improved sensitivity from 35.5% to 75% (95% CI: 64%, 84%) but decreased the specificity from 100% to 73% (95% CI:54%, 88%)."

sparser
"DCC gene methylation was significantly different between plasma from controls, GGO, and lung cancer patients 4/80 (5%), 0/23 (0%) and 19/70 (26%), respectively (p=0.0002)."

sparser
"Interestingly, only subjects with an abnormal cytology had high (>16%) mean levels of DCC methylation across the five sites analyzed ( xref ), although this was true only for six of those with abnormal cytology (range: 17.0–70.2%), all HPV 16 positive."

sparser
"Further, when different combinations of genes were evaluated, OSCC harboring both p16 and DCC methylation emerged to be more significantly associated with nodal involvement than p16 alone ( p = 0.005, OR = 19.2, 95% C.I. =2.4–152.8; xref )."

sparser
"There were no significant differences in overall methylation of CCNA1, DCC, CD1A or NDN within paired specimens ( p -values= 0.56, 0.17, 0.66 and 0.58, respectively)."

sparser
"For patients without methylated DCC, addition of a logistic regression score that was based on the five remaining genes improved sensitivity from 35.5% to 75% (95% CI: 64%, 84%) but decreased the specificity from 100% to 73% (54%, 88%) ( xref )."

"Methylation of DCC was correlated with aggressive phenotype for HNC in a study of 96 tumors with increased rate of bone invasion, invasive growth pattern and reduced survival (p=0.050). ( xref ) Intriguingly, in this study, methylation of p14ARF was associated with a good prognosis (HR =0.30 for methylated tumors p=0.021), perhaps implicating a mechanism similar to the protective effect of p16 methylation in our cohort."
