MicroRNA‐137 promoter methylation is associated with poorer overall survival in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck

Abstract

The results of this study indicate that miR-137 is methylated in tumor tissue from pharyngeal and laryngeal squamous cancers, in addition to oral squamous cell carcinoma, and that miR-137 promoter methylation has potential utility as a prognostic marker for SCCHN.
