Combinatory low methylation statuses of SAT- α and L1 are associated with shortened survival time in patients with advanced gastric cancer

ConclusionNot only tumoral L1 hypomethylation, but also tumoral SAT- α hypomethylation was found to be independent prognostic parameters in patients with advanced gastric cancer. SAT-α methylation status can be used to further divide gastric cancers with L1 hypomethylation into subsets of gastric cancers with better and worse prognosis.
